Concepts For Rapid-Refresh, Global Ocean Surface Wind Measurement Evaluated Using Full-System Parametric Extrema Modeling, M. Patrick Walton
Concepts For Rapid-Refresh, Global Ocean Surface Wind Measurement Evaluated Using Full-System Parametric Extrema Modeling, M. Patrick Walton
Theses and Dissertations
Satellite wind vector data is integral to atmospheric models and forecasts. Currently, the limited refresh rate of global wind vector measurement systems makes it difficult to observe diurnal variation of mesoscale processes. Using advancements in the underlying subsystem technologies, new satellite wind scatterometers may be possible that increase temporal resolution, among other performance metrics. I propose a method for parametrically modeling the extreme performance range of a complex system. I use this method to develop a model of the space of possible satellite wind scatterometer designs. I validate the model using point designs of heritage scatterometers. Finally, I present two …

Deploying And Analyzing Air Quality Sensors In Mongolian Gers, Lehi Sttenio Alcantara
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this research is to develop best practices for deploying air quality sensors in a remote location such as Mongolia. I discussed the architecture and design constraints when collecting remote air quality sensors data, the challenges that emerge while implementing a sensor-based network in a remote location such as Mongolia. The tradeoffs of using different architectures are described. I observed the usage of electrical heaters in modified gers in remote locations and conclude how effective they are in reducing PM2.5 levels by analyzing air quality data and go through the process of cleaning up the data and removing …
