Hi. My name is Parker and our Honors Earth Science class is studying the PolarTREC Expeditions along with our regular studies. We got to choose which expedition we would like to follow and I chose yours because it sounded really interesting just from the title, and I think I chose well. Besides learning about the AGOs and the project that you guys are trying to accomplish, I have been able to learn a lot about Antarctica as well which is exciting. I would like to ask you guys a few questions about stuff as well.
-What exactly are some of the instruments in the AGOs? -Is the information the instruments gather collected every year at one time or is it sent using the Internet? -Are the AGOs positioned in five exact spots in Antarctica for a reason or are they just placed randomly in five differents spots? -What is some of the information the instruments gather from the atmosphere? -How big are the AGOs?
I hope to hear back from you and that you are enjoying your time in Antarctica. Thanks for all the great jounal entries.
