ICE-CAMERA: a flatbed scanner to study inland Antarctic polar precipitation
The study of precipitation at very high latitudes is challenging because of the harsh environmental conditions that limit the external activity of humans and instruments, particularly during the polar winter. I describe a device (ICE-CAMERA) for automatic imaging, measuring and classifying ice preci...

The study of precipitation at very high latitudes is challenging because of the harsh environmental conditions that limit the external activity of humans and instruments, particularly during the polar winter. I describe a device (ICE-CAMERA) for automatic imaging, measuring and classifying ice precipitation on the high plateau. From 2014 the instrument operates unattended, all year round, at Concordia Station (75° S,123° E, 3220 m altitude). The instrument provides detailed precipitation information every hour. The article describes the apparatus and its treatment software. |
