0085217Eloranta This project will design, fabricate, and test a prototype next-generation automatic weather station (AWS) for use in polar regions. The current network of AWS units relies on a twenty-year old design that has proven very reliable, however critical components are no longer available and newer and improved versions make a redesign not only feasible, but also necessary. The next generation AWS will incorporate the current capability to operate in a harsh environment, and to transmit data through System Argos receiver on polar orbiting satellites, but will also consume much less power, be much more flexible in its ability to interface with many different sensors, offer greatly reduced component size, and significantly greater processing power. It will also anticipate the Argos-3 satellite platform that will allow two-way communication with the AWS network deployed in Antarctica.***

该项目将设计、制造和测试用于极地地区的下一代自动气象站（AWS）原型。当前的AWS单元网络依赖于20年前的设计，该设计已被证明非常可靠，但是关键组件不再可用，更新和改进的版本使得重新设计不仅可行，而且是必要的。下一代AWS将整合当前在恶劣环境下运行的能力，并通过极地轨道卫星上的System Argos接收器传输数据，但也将消耗更少的功率，在与许多不同传感器的接口能力方面更加灵活，提供大大减小的组件尺寸，以及显着更高的处理能力。它还将预测Argos-3卫星平台，该平台将允许与部署在南极洲的AWS网络进行双向通信
