Determining Forest Duff Water Content Using a Low-Cost Standing Wave Ratio Sensor
Forest duff (fermentation and humus) water content is an important parameter for fire risk prediction and water resource management. However, accurate determination of forest duff water content is difficult due to its loose structure. This study evaluates the feasibility of a standing wave ratio (SWR) sensor to accurately determine the forest duff water content. The performance of this sensor w...
متن کاملEffective Calibration of Low-Cost Soil Water Content Sensors
Soil water content is a key variable for understanding and modelling ecohydrological processes. Low-cost electromagnetic sensors are increasingly being used to characterize the spatio-temporal dynamics of soil water content, despite the reduced accuracy of such sensors as compared to reference electromagnetic soil water content sensing methods such as time domain reflectometry. Here, we present...
متن کاملMeasuring Snow Liquid Water Content with Low-Cost GPS Receivers
The amount of liquid water in snow characterizes the wetness of a snowpack. Its temporal evolution plays an important role for wet-snow avalanche prediction, as well as the onset of meltwater release and water availability estimations within a river basin. However, it is still a challenge and a not yet satisfyingly solved issue to measure the liquid water content (LWC) in snow with conventional...
متن کاملSmart and Low Cost Technique for Forest Fire Detection using Wireless Sensor Network
The line of sight and the early stage of the fire process problem could be solved with the second type of sensors. A new technology called Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is nowadays receiving more attention and has started to be applied in forest fire detection. The Wireless nodes integrate on the same printed circuit board, the sensors, the data processing, the wireless transceiver and they all...
متن کاملComputer Network Time Synchronization using a Low Cost GPS Engine
Accurate and reliable time is necessary for financial and legal transactions, transportation, distribution systems, and many other applications. Time synchronization protocols such as NTP (the Network Time Protocol) have kept clocks of such applications synchronized to each other for many years. Nowadays there are many commercial GPS based NTP time server products at the market but they almost ...
