The project will develop an Arctic-capable aerosonde, design an instrument package for it, field test the instruments, and collect data in the Barrow, AK vicinity. The aerosonde is an autonomous aircraft that that builds on a design of a smaller platform that has flown in the Arctic. The improved aerosonde will be more robust and have increased navigational as well scientific instrumentation than its predecessor. The improved aerosonde will be able to fly over land and sea ice in order to make measurements of surface and near-surface properties that play a role in redistribution of heat in climate feedback systems. The remotely operated aerosonde also allows measurements to be made without the need of humans entering a very dangerous environment, particularly during the most hazardous time of the year. The aeorsonde will add an important access capability to Arctic research for a wide variety of atmospheric and surface properties studies.

该项目将开发一个北极能力的航空探空仪，为其设计一个仪器包，现场测试仪器，并在巴罗，AK附近收集数据。 aerosonde是一种自主飞行器，它建立在一个在北极飞行的较小平台的设计上。 改进后的探空仪将比其前身更加坚固，增加了导航和科学仪器。 改进后的航空探空仪将能够飞越陆地和海冰，以便测量在气候反馈系统中对热量重新分布起作用的表面和近表面特性。 遥控空气探空仪还允许在不需要人类进入非常危险的环境的情况下进行测量，特别是在一年中最危险的时候。 该探空仪将为北极研究增加重要的进入能力，以进行各种大气和表面特性研究。
