    The Geodetic Observatory is based on continuous measurements of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) data for the characterization of the neo-tectonics of a large area of ​​the Northern Victoria Land. Particularly for the definition of a three-dimensional reference (plano-altimetric), and tidal waves, for the definition of a local and global absolute altimetric reference model. The permanent GNSS station 'INXP', has been set on Inexpressible Island (74° 56' 55,1" S - 163° 41' 06,3" E), 32 m a.s.l. during the antarctic campaign 2015 - 2016. INXP records data of GPS and GLONASS constellations, with an acquisition interval equal to 30 s. It is equipped with Tocpon Net-G3 GNSS receivers and chokering antennas, Topcon CR-G5 model (radome TPSH ), installed on steel pillars.

    In the frame of YOPP WMO Project, during the Special Observing Period lasting from 16th November 2018 to 15th February 2019, in Concordia and Mario Zucchelli stations daily soundings were executed regularly in DOMEC at 00:00 and 12:00 UTC, and in MSZ another sounding was done at 06:00 UTC and 18:00 UTC. The atmospheric parameters along the vertical profile (upper-air mesaurements) monitored are: height (gps position), pressure, temperature, humidity, velocity of wind, direction of the wind. The RDS (VAISALA RS92) is launched into the atmosphere coupled to a balloon inflated with helium. The sonde rises with a speed of about 2-5 m / s up to a height of between 20 and 25 km. During the ascent all the parameters are acquired. The data obtained are coded both in a digital format (BUFR) and in text format and entered into the global network (GTS) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

    Objective of the project is to develop and test acoustic methodologies for the long-term monitoring of environmental variability in the Antarctic regions, through underwater acoustic oceanography experiments. Using passive and active acoustic systems is possible obtain the remote observation of air-sea-ice interaction processes in polynya areas in the Terra Nova Bay (74 ° 40′59.99 "S 164 ° 04′00.01" E). Acoustic measurements are carryed out by launching an oceanographic mooring supporting a 300 kHz broadband ADCP and CTD probes (temperature, conductivity and pressure sensors), left in the area until the following year's campaign.
