A new low-power consumption and high stability system for glacier parameters acquiring is introduced.This system use MSP430F149

a low-power consumption MCU as main controller

and integrates modules such as SHT21 which is a high precision and low-power consumption temperature and humidity sensor

US—100 which is an ultrasonic sensor

GPS

PCF8563 which is a high precision real time clock chip

EEPROM

SD card

Zig Bee wireless sensor networks（ WSNs） and power management. It can automatically measure and store porameters of temperature

humidity

coordinates of the glacier

and height of accumulated snow using timing and low-power consumption working mode

all measured datas are transmitted to data processing center by Zig Bee WSNs.
