Specific methods and equipment used to modify, power, and hand-deploy AN/SSQ-57A sonobuoys in the Arctic are discussed. The methods and suggestions can be easily extended for use with other types of sonobuoys. The modified sonobuoys transmit continuously for up to 30 days from a remote unmanned site to a manned base camp over a range of 20 km. Sample acoustic data from the ALPIS 87 ice station are presented.
