Abstract

As the world ecosystem comes under increasing duress
from the effects of global warming, volatile organic compounds (and other air pollutants), oil spills, pesticides, stronger
coastal storms, and more frequent tornadoes and forest fires,
early warning of and effective response to micro, local, and
regional ecological problems is critical. Capturing this data
is an immense challenge requiring long-term study over very
large areas. Further, such a system must operate virtually
free of infrastructure (power and hardline communications
networks) to reduce the cost and environmental impact of
deploying and maintaining it. Such systems, as envisioned
by the scientific community, consist of a large quantity of
sensors each attached to a small battery operated microprocessor replete with a radio communications transceiver.
Each of these sensor terminals is called a node and the entirety of nodes is termed a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN).
WSN’s are, therefore, emerging as a vital element in humanity’s response to a changing climate.
