Brief Description (Abstract):

The Automatic Weather Station erected by the First Indian Antarctic Expedition. A simplified block diagram of the system electronics presents an overview of the sensors and associated electronic hardware. A detailed flow-chart of the acquisition and storage software is also presented together with details of the processor module, analog board, clock and power supply circuits and tape recorder interface. Finally, a typical print-out obtained at the site of erection, Dakshin Gangotri, is reproduced.

Status: Completed

Purpose: The station was programmed to interrogate meteorological sensors every 213 sees (2 hours 16 minutes 32 seconds) and record their values. The values were stored on an incremental cassette recorder with a total capacity of 1.6 Mega bits equivalent to a 5 month capacity at the set interrogation interval.
