Underway Sensors


Data from Sikuliaq's underway sensors are logged by the LDEO Data System (LDS). Each sensor's data string can be found in a Format Descriptions document in the underway data external drive, given to the chief scientist.
Much of the underway sensor data can be viewed in Real-Time via TV monitors through-out the ship or your stateroom, the ship's internal website or the monitors in the computer lab.

Cameras

  • A Bridge Cam is located inside the bridge looking forward at the bow. It is capturing a time stamped, low resolution, .JPEG photo once every minute while the ship is underway. The images are included in the LDS. A live video stream from the camera is available on the ship's internal website and TV system.
  • A GeoCam system is installed on the bridge. Three cameras are mounted to create ice mosaics. This system collects data only upon request.
