Want to know what it’s like to analyze massive amounts of data under pressure? Talk to Bryson Koehler, CIO of The Weather Company (which owns the Weather Channel), who must interpret data sets from around the world to predict something as volatile as the weather.

If you want to understand what it takes to collect, track and analyze reams of data, just check the weather. There are constant fluctuations, scores of data points and intense interest from all over the planet. Analyze

The Cazenovia Board of Education last week accepted two donations of technology equipment worth more than $170,000 that will give Cazenovia High School technology students unique opportunities to construct and maintain both a weather station on the high school roof and an automated switch manufacturing work cell once used by Marquardt Switches.

Once the switch machine is situated and implemented, Cazenovia will be the only high school in the country with an operational manufacturin

"Operating microwave repeaters in the high mountains of Kyrgyzstan is an interesting challenge. -40c winters and 160km/hr winds. Helicopters have great difficulties at 5000m altitude and professional alpinist teams take four days to climb to the stations. Knowing the weather conditions at the destination before we dispatch a team is a significant safety benefit. Having a cloud based storage and charting solution makes this practical and simple."

This project required weather data to be monitored at a remote air strip in a valley, which was then sent via the mobile phone network back to Sydney so the owner could monitor weather conditions before flying out to this remote location. The only Next G phone signal was located almost 2km away through dense bush on the side of a hill. The solution required a three part approach;

1. A high quality weather station capable of transmitting long distances out of the box if possible ra

Research team members, Dr. Bruce Walker, Dr. Carrie Bruce, and Ms. Brianna Tomlinson (HCC PhD student), from Walker’s Sonification Lab visited partners in Kenya during Spring Break to continue work on the Mwangaza Project.  This project is a collaboration among the Sonification Lab, inABLE, and Kenyatta University in Nairobi to investigate, develop, and deploy accessible STEM education resources for students with vision impairment at schools in Kenya.

Founded in 1993, Ramsat has quickly become a point of reference for consulting and professional photographic supplies webcam and integrated systems. In 2003, the company made the first webcam camera with automatic transmission via GPRS, which is distinguished by the update feature, every 20 `, the portal www.meteoappennino.it, with spectacular images of Mount Carrier and its old town, Castelluccio di Norcia (Pg).

Starting from the historical activation, Ramsat has significantly ex

Tom Haraden is a retired National Park Service Ranger and current National Weather Service spotter in Utah.

"I like that [my MK-lll-LR] is reliable, wireless, accurate, measures maximums and minimums," Tom says, " and measures eight parameters. I guess my favorite part is having an accurate barometer. I can predict the weather here with only that. We have the display hung where the kitchen, bedroom hall, and mudroom door converge so we see it whenever we walk past and can easily wa
