Integrating sensors with the cloud using dynamic proxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) can have high demands for real-time data transmission and processing, but this is often constrained by limited resources. Cloud Computing can act as the backend for WSNs to provide processing and storage on demand.

Development and Application of a Hot-Dry-Windy Index (HDW) Climatology

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2018
In this paper, we describe and analyze a climatology of the Hot-Dry-Windy Index (HDW), with the goal of providing fire-weather forecasters with information about the daily and seasonal variability of the index.

Hydrometeorology of the Dhofar cloud forest and its implications for groundwater recharge

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2018
Study region: The Dhofar mountains are located on the Arabian Peninsula in Southern Oman. Unlike other regions of Oman, the Dhofar mountains have an annual monsoon season that results in a semi-arid cloud forest.

Forest-PointNet: A Deep Learning Model for Vertical Structure Segmentation in Complex Forest Scenes

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
The vertical structure of forest ecosystems influences and reflects ecosystem functioning. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) enables the rapid acquisition of 3D forest information and subsequent reconstruction of the vertical structure, which provides new

The climate of cloud forests

open access: yesHydrological Processes, 2010
AbstractThis chapter analyses the climatic conditions prevailing at sites where tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) have been reported. Spatial data‐sets of climate were used to describe the climate at 477 cloud forest sites identified by United Nations Environment Program (UNEP)‐WCMC. Some 85% of the sites are found at altitudes between 400 and 2800

Telipogon helleri (Orchidaceae): population characteristics, new locality in Mexico and risk of extinction

open access: yesBotan‪ical Sciences, 2016
The first record of Telipogon helleri (Orchidaceae) in Mexico was in 2009. The relevance of this study is the finding and characterization of a second population of this taxon, in a new location, and the revaluation of the original population five years
