This five year project is being funded by the National Science Foundation, with Aerosonde being sub-contracted by the University of Colorado at Boulder to gather scientific data, and optimise the Aerosonde for operations in the harsh Arctic environment.
Aerosonde's newly developed Aeroguard video transmission system is also coming to Barrow for the first time, so we are looking forward to investigating some of the opportunities made possible by this exciting new payload development.
Aerosonde and University of Colorado would also like to acknowlege the assistance and support of BASC - logistics, communications and workspaces and ARM - accomodation and an operations base.
The Aerosonde team is also in the running for the Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation prize of $100,000, awarded to those who could most use the money to get their innovation "to the next level".
The Aerosonde project began in earnest in 1995 as a means of gathering more detailed information about the weather - particularly severe weather events such as cyclones and thunderstorms - with the aim of helping meteorologists produce better forecasts.
Opportunities beyond meteorology are also on the horizon, and the Aerosonde may be involved in carrying infra-red and visible-light cameras for rescue emergencies and coastal surveillance, as well as monitors for the agricultural, mining and chemical industries.
