Summary:
A Trimble 4800 geodetic quality receiver was provided to Rob Holmes and John Cassano to survey accurate locations of Automated Weather Station sites around McMurdo Sound and on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Precise elevations of these sites were desired to better use the meteorological data. Although meter level results are sufficient, the geodetic receiver was provided due to the long baselines for the West Antarctic sites. UNAVCO provided data processing and archiving after the field surveys.
