GEMS: A Revolutionary System for Environmental Monitoring

Manobianco D.M., Manobianco J., Evans R.J., Pister K.S.J., Manobianco D.M., Manobianco J., ENSCO, Inc., US

This paper describes a revolutionary, new observing system designed for environmental monitoring that will integrate MicroElectroMechanicalSystems (MEMS) and nanotechnologies. The concept, known as Global Environmental MEMS Sensors (GEMS), features an integrated system of airborne probes [...]

On the Utility of Airborne MEMS for Improving Meteorological Analysis and Forecasting

Manobianco J., Short D.A., ENSCO, Inc., JP

Among the applications envisioned for Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) sensors are weather observations from probes that are suspended in the atmosphere and carried by wind currents. This paper describes preliminary experiments with a state-of-the-science numerical [...]
