Design and Testing of an In-Situ Atmospheric Probe
Abstract:
The design and test results are presented for a novel in-situ atmospheric probe, called an environmental mote or eMote. This lightweight airborne atmospheric sensing mote has been designed for mass deployment over weather events of interest as part of a system known as GlobalSense, which aims to provide weather data with high spatial and temporal density. This talk will describe the initial eMote design and ground-based test results of meteorological sensing functions, as well as iterative improvements made to prepare the system for large-scale deployments and tests.
