Session: Emerging Measurement Technologies, Low-Cost Sensors and Data Visualization Methods (104th AMS Annual Meeting)

Thursday, 1 February 2024: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM

341 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Host: 24th Symposium on Meteorological Observation and Instrumentation

Chair:

CoChair:

Advances in all aspects of technology means that new and novel methods of atmospheric measurement are constantly being tested and implemented. The aim of this session is to highlight emerging and innovative observing technologies, including in-situ, airborne-based, balloon-based, and unmanned systems. Also of interest are low-cost sensor solutions and methodologies for effective utilization of such sensors deployed in dense networks. Similarly, the session seeks to highlight new and interesting ways to visualize measurement data.
