Geomagnetic Data Collected from Scott Base, Cape Evans, and Lake Vanda
Antarctica New ZealandGeomagnetic measurements were established in Antarctica in 1957 as part of the International Geophysical Year and have continued until present. Geomagnetic data have been recorded continuously but for a gap in the data from 1959 until 1963. Since 1963, the components of the earth’s magnetic field (H, D & Z) and the large variations in this field...Created 8 September 2023 • Updated 8 September 2023 -
Continuous GNSS Observations from Antarctica: Scott Base, Butcher Ridge,...
Antarctica New ZealandThe network collects Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data for the purposes of monitoring the New Zealand Geodetic Datum 2000 (NZGD2000), updating the national deformation model, and maintaining New Zealand’s relationship to the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF). Antarctic GNSS data form part of the New Zealand campaign GNSS...Created 8 September 2023 • Updated 8 September 2023 -
Very Low Frequency Subionospheric Communication Transmitter Observations at...
Antarctica New ZealandThe AARDDVARK/WWLLN Very Low Frequency (VLF) Radio Sensor was installed at Arrival Heights from 10-15 December 2008 by Dr Craig J. Rodger and Dr. James Brundell as part of Antarctica New Zealand Event K069A. The sensor measures the magnetic field in the Very Low Frequency radio range (~500 Hz-50 kHz), and passes it to a PC which processes the data for the...Created 8 September 2023 • Updated 8 September 2023 -
Tide Gauge Data, Scott Base
Antarctica New ZealandA sea level recorder and barometer was installed at Scott Base in January 2001 initially to support oceanographic and hazards research (including tsunami) and to support hydrographic surveying. The sea-level recorder is a nitrogen bubbler system with a paroscientific pressure transducer located on a bottom-mounted spigot of the osmosis boom (to enable...Created 8 September 2023 • Updated 8 September 2023
