Image Chipping with a Common Architecture for Microsensors (CAuS)
… range from acoustic, to seismic, to magnetic, to visible/infrared imagers. A notable shortcoming of these systems is the fact that they are battery powered. The use of a finite power source places an upper limit on the lifespan of such a system. Thus, a major thrust in the development and usage of …

Dependence of tropical cirrus clouds on sea surface temperature and consequences for the Archean climate
… TRMM VIRS (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission, Visible Infrared Sounder) data. We quantify the effect of methodological choices on the magnitude of the observed correlations between upper level cloud cover and SST. We discuss several methodological choices that might contribute to the relatively …
