Summary: Dr. Lenihan requested support from UNAVCO at McMurdo to provide coordinates for several dive hole locations on the sea ice. Meter level positions were desired since the dive holes were directly above experiments left under the sea-ice. UNAVCO collected and post-processed data since this support was provided before the DGPS system was operational. The accurate coordinates, combined with a DGPS capability next season, will allow new dive holes to be located precisely over the sea floor study areas, greatly improving the current trial and error drilling method. To realize this advantage, ASA operations will need to use DGPS equipment when locating drilling locations on the sea ice. UNAVCO is prepared to provide DGPS support for this application. |
