The national weather sensor grid

ABSTRACT

With the rapid advances in technologies such as MEMS sensors, low-power embedded processing and wireless networking, sensor networks are becoming more powerful in terms of data acquisition and processing capabilities. Sensor networks can now be deployed in the physical world for various important applications such as environmental monitoring, weather monitoring and modeling, military surveillance, healthcare monitoring, tracking of goods and manufacturing processes, smart homes and offices, etc.
