polar automatic weather station [′pō·lər ¦ȯd·ə¦mad·ik ′weth·ər ‚stā·shən]

(meteorology)

An automatic weather station which measures meteorological elements and transmits them by radio; the station is designed to function primarily in frigid or polar climates in order to fill the need for weather reports from inaccessible regions where manned stations are not practicable; since the equipment is designed to operate on ice or slush, the main structure is in the form of a sled with external pontoons for added stability.
