The Lake Bonney meteorology station was initially built on the lake's ice cover in November, 1993. Shortly thereafter the station was listed to the point where it was decided to move it to shore. Some attempt was
made to right the station during this period. The move of the station was done using the ATV with the station still running. The move began at 14:50 and ended at 15:06 on December 17, 1993. Data collected after 15:06 was done so with the station in it's final position. The clock synchronized with John Priscu's logger measuring light on Nov 26 in afternoon. The station was set up to sample sensors every 30 seconds and send summary statistics (for example, averages and maximums) to solid-state storage modules every:

  10 minutes from November 24, 1993 to January 12, 1994,
  three hours from January 12, 1994 to November 12, 1994,
  20 minutes from November 12, 1994 to November 22, 1995
  15 minutes thereafter.
 
This has resulted in approximately 28 values being recorded for final storage in every output interval.
