Alfa & Bravo collect wind data along C130 runway when intercontinental flights from New Zealand to Antarctica are operated (October-December); data are sent directly to the Operational Room and are not stored. Minni collects wind data along Twinotter runway in Browning pass; it is mounted in november and disassembled at the end of the season (February); these data too are sent directly to the Operational Room and arenot stored. Enigma collects wind data along Twinotter runway in Enigma Lake; it is mounted in november and disassembled at the end of the season (February); these data too are sent directly to the Operational Room and arenot stored.
