Session 6 Integrated Instrumentation and Observing Systems for All Applications - Ground-based

Tuesday, 14 January 2020: 1:30 PM-2:30 PM
203 (Boston Convention and Exhibition Center)
Host: 20th Symposium on Meteorological Observation and Instrumentation
Chair:
Joshua Lave, National Center for Atmospheric Research, Research Applications Laboratory, Boulder, CO

Sensor integration provides improved methods for taking a multitude of observations with a single sensing platform. Topics in this session include integrating sensors into singular platforms for observations, platform design, software engineering to support sensor integration, integrating observations across sensing platforms for improved data collection and analysis, and network design.
