Enhanced Precision Time Synchronization for Wireless Sensor Networks

Time synchronization in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a fundamental issue for the coordination of distributed entities and events. Nondeterministic latency, which may decrease the accuracy and precision of time synchronization can occur at any point in the network layers. Specially, random back-off by channel contention leads to a large uncertainty. In order to reduce

TdhGIS – Vector Based Spatial Analysis

The purpose of TdhGIS is to perform spatial analysis of data based on vector defined geometric data. This may include : Allocating point data to polygons. (e.g. assigning structures to hydrological basins). Allocating polygon data to other polygons. (e.g. allocating population data by census block to political boundaries). Creating thiessen polygons (e.g. for all hospitals within a state, define

Use of Lidar for Coastal Habitat Mapping

This article describes how Lidar (Laser or Light Detection and Ranging) can be used to collect data about coastal habitats. The article gives an introduction of the measurement principle and also explains how to plan for a Lidar-survey. More information about the conversion of collected data and the output of Lidar can be found in

TerraSAR-X – Volcanic Eruption in Chile

The crater of the Chilean volcano Puyehue displays a striking, circular outline in this image from the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) TerraSAR-X satellite – so this was not the culprit when a volcano in the southern Andes erupted on 4 June 2011. Instead, as the images from the German

Simulations of Atmospheric Dispersion From Japan

In this configuration, the model can be used to perform simulations of “dispersion”. Are injected artificially in a model grid an arbitrary amount of tracer, and calculate the transport and dispersion of this tracer by the winds, turbulence, convection. These simulations look at how the air mass was over Japan at the initial moment, moves and dissolves
