Summary:
A DGPS Trimble GeoExplorer receiver was provided to Robert Holmes to survey accurate locations of Automated Weather Station sites around McMurdo surroundings. Precise elevations of these sites were desired to better use the meteorological data. The positions were collected by the field team using the DGPS broadcasts for corrections. Most of the sites were surveyed successfully, but a few surveys were unsuccessful due intermittent DGPS operation at the end of the season.
