抽象的。我们介绍了沿40°磁子午链部署在南极东部高原的地面仪器的发展考虑和设计，以研究半球间磁共轭、地磁耦合和其他与空间天气有关的现象。这些地磁站与格陵兰岛西海岸的地磁站磁共轭。在南极部署的自主自适应低功率仪器平台的设计目的是在偏远地区无人值守至少5年。它们使用太阳能和AGM蓄电池供电，使用双向Iridium卫星通信进行数据采集和程序/操作修改，支持磁通门和感应磁强计，以及双频GPS接收器和高频无线电实验。考虑到飞机的大小和重量，小型团队可以使用小型飞机进行部署。在开发和部署远程极地仪器方面已经获得了相当多的经验，这反映在这里讨论的这一代仪器中。最后，我们总结了我们在设计、部署和操作远程极地仪器方面的经验教训。
Abstract. We present the development considerations and design for ground-based instrumentation that is being deployed on the East Antarctic Plateau along a 40° magnetic meridian chain to investigate interhemispheric magnetically conjugate geomagnetic coupling and other space-weather-related phenomena. The stations are magnetically conjugate to geomagnetic stations along the west coast of Greenland. The autonomous adaptive low-power instrument platforms being deployed in the Antarctic are designed to operate unattended in remote locations for at least 5 years. They utilize solar power and AGM storage batteries for power, two-way Iridium satellite communication for data acquisition and program/operation modification, support fluxgate and induction magnetometers as well as a dual-frequency GPS receiver and a high-frequency (HF) radio experiment. Size and weight considerations are considered to enable deployment by a small team using small aircraft. Considerable experience has been gained in the development and deployment of remote polar instrumentation that is reflected in the present generation of instrumentation discussed here. We conclude with the lessons learned from our experience in the design, deployment and operation of remote polar instrumentation.
