South of 60°S, weather, oceanographic and cryospheric data are rare by construction: few platforms operate there, for long periods, with calibrated instruments and a rigorous field journal. ARION does. Continuously. From the pack ice.
Timestamped, geolocated, contextualised data — secure access reserved for researchers, laboratories, institutions and academic teams.
Institutional campaigns cannot remain permanently below 60°S. An autonomous expedition sailboat can. What ARION produces is not a substitute for satellite measurements or fixed stations — it is a field complement: mobile, continuous, contextualised by a daily logbook.
Measurements made with professional instruments calibrated for extreme environments. Protocols: redundancy, complete metadata, calibration traceability and collection context.
Equipment examples: weather station, onboard energy systems, temperature/pressure/salinity sensors, field observations.
Regular transfers compatible with energy and operational constraints. Data offered in near real-time (when possible) and as consolidated archives.
Priority to series continuity despite difficult conditions.
The AION Data Hub data is collected, validated and made available under the direct responsibility of the expedition captain.
STCW captain, originally trained in marine biology, the lead scientist ensures the rigour of protocols: calibration, standards, measurement traceability and contextualisation of observations.
Each dataset is accompanied by a scientific journal for reliable exploitation (climatology, glaciology, oceanography).
Table of parameters continuously collected by ARION's onboard instruments.
Each category includes raw data, aggregations and structured exports.
Continuous high-resolution measurements in polar environments.
Monitoring an autonomous micro-grid in cold conditions.
In situ observations in direct contact with the pack ice.
Opportunistic profiles and series in austral zones.
The portal primarily addresses scientific and technical communities requiring long series in polar environments.
Secure access with different levels depending on the type of collaboration.
