Abstract
Antarctica is a harsh and challenging continent to study, particularly with regard to scientific equipment. This paper presents SNOWWEB, a Wireless Sensor Network equipped with environmental sensors designed to capture distributed meteorological measurements in Antarctica and report them in real-time to a base station. To accomplish this we used XBee Pro S2B transceivers utilising the ZigBee standard. Combined with high gain omnidirectional antennae we were able to establish reliable multi-hop links with inter-node distances spanning up to 10 km during testing in Antarctica in January 2013. Over a one week period we experienced exceptional network performance, despite a snowstorm, with all stations reporting as expected.
研究南极洲是一个严酷和具有挑战性的大陆，特别是在科学设备方面。本文介绍了SNOWWEB，这是一个配备环境传感器的无线传感器网络，旨在捕获南极洲的分布式气象测量数据，并将其实时报告给基站。为了实现这一点，我们使用了使用ZigBee标准的XBee Pro S2B收发器。结合高增益全向天线，我们能够在2013年1月在南极洲的测试中建立可靠的多跳链路，节点间距离可达10公里。在一周的时间里，我们经历了非凡的网络性能，尽管有暴风雪，所有的站点都按照预期报告。
