ABSTRACT: The need for higher spatial/temporal resolution in-situ atmospheric sensing has been
established by both weather and climate researchers. In order to address this
need, an airborne wireless sensor network called GlobalSense is currently being
developed. GlobalSense is based on low-cost airborne probes that collect
environmental data as they fall slowly through the atmosphere and on portable
base stations that receive the data being collected. This paper presents an
overview of this GlobalSense system as well as preliminary results from
ground-based system testing.
