- Atomic Clocks?
I would like to take an atomic clock down to South America. I need to know if it will woke down there as they are not on the same time of time zones that we are in america.
A It depends on how it works and what features it has. My atomic clock as to get a signal from the atomic clock in Colorado. You probable can't get the signal in South America. If it has its own internal time keeper then you will just have to adjust the time zone to the correct one. It would be a setting that you could change if it has this capability.

- How do atomic clocks know when it is daylight saving time?
With the end of daylight saving time in the United States (and elsewhere), my atomic clocks reset themselves back to standard time. My question is does the clock do this because of some programming in the clock itself, or is it because of the signal broadcast by NIST? The reason that I'm wondering is because the start and end dates for daylight saving time will change beginning next year, and I'm wondering if the atomic clocks will give the right time unadjusted. Thanks in advance for your answers.
A Its because of the signal. Atomic clocks that you can purchase are just receivers, similar to the clocks on cell phones.The actual atomic clocks are cesium oscillators which measure the decay of cesium atoms (the metric standard for 1 second.) They are just keepng track of seconds so the NIST adjusts what hour it actually is accordingly and then sends out the signal. I'm sure that will be the case when DST changes.
