Cryologger automatic weather stations are low-cost, open-source and designed for Arctic conditions. They are simple to deploy and maintain and they report weather to this website via the Iridium satellite network. They are suitable for monitoring the weather for travel safety around communities or for research.

So far, there are 3 community weather station networks in Nunavut that use Cryologger weather stations. The weather station sites were chosen by community members and local technicians were trained to deploy and maintain them. They are meant to complement Inuit knowledge and other weather information available at windy.com, Environment Canada and elsewhere.

We are also working with community representatives to develop TV displays that can be used to show the same weather information that is available on this website in publicly accessible areas such as Hamlet and HTO offices.

Cryologger automatic weather stations are also used for research. There are two weather stations currently at the northern coast of Ellesmere Island to monitor the Milne Ice Shelf and Milne Fiord in support of the work of the Water and Ice Research Lab (WIRL) at Carleton University. You can click here see the weather conditions at the Milne Ice Shelf or the nearest landing strip at Purple Valley.
