Unmanned observation in Antarctica(II)-Outline and result obtained in the 20th and 21st Japanese Antarctic Research Expeditions-
As part of the POLEX-South program of the 20th to 22nd Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) (1979-1981), unmanned meteorological observation was made on the Antarctic Ice Sheet. As JARE has been conducting unmanned observation since JARE-18,improvement of renewal of the parts of the system...
