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.Keywords
