Abstract: An integrated sensor is a complete measurement system that communicates its signals to a data collection and archival facility. The paper describes the concept, and how it developed from and relates to the more traditional ...

Abstract: Field instruments require calibration against standards that introduce-insignificant errors of their own in the process. This paper discusses a pressure and temperature calibration facility, analyzes the error levels ...

Abstract: Solid state technology is making possible new innovations in instrumentation from sensors and data handling to presentation to the user. A survey of the field and its trends and the implications for atmospheric measurements ...

Abstract: An equation used to describe the calibration of an instrument is either of an arbitrary nature or based upon physics. The latter, which we call behavioral modeling, often provides a much better fit to the calibration than ...

Abstract: Atmospheric measurements are being made in rapidly growing numbers as a result of large-scale research program needs and increased operational requirements. Systems are now being deployed that are expected to operate ...
