GOES advanced sounder design study

Jnterimresults ofa current study on upgrading the geosynchronous operational environmental Satellite (GOES) infrared (IR) sounder are presented. Considered are a 15 cm diameter telescope to reduce instrument size and weight, use ofa Fourier Transfonn Infrared (FTIR)inteiferometerfcrhigh spectral wavelength resolution, a small detector focal plane array (FPA) operating at 65K, and combining the ...

Welcome to the Donald A. Glaser Advanced Instrumentation Laboratory

Professor Donald A. Glaser was a master of experimental sciences throughout his career. Born in Cleveland and educated at Case Institute of Technology, he earned a doctorate at Caltech and taught at the University of Michigan before accepting a post at UC Berkeley in 1959. Early in his career, Dr. Glaser experimented with ways to make the workings of sub-atomic particles visible. For this resea...

Hatch funds proposal Advanced Machinery for Biosystems Applications

The pronoun “precision” has been used in recent years in many fields to indicate the use of modern electronics, computer and sensor technology in agriculture and related areas. Some examples are PrecisionAgriculture, Precision-Forestry, Precision-Tillage and it is probably only a matter of time until we see names like “Precision Fisheries” and “Precision Horticulture”. To bring all these terms ...

Welcome to virosphere

Viruses may seem alien, but they are the most abundant and, arguably, the most important organisms on Earth. They are found just about everywhere, from oceans and forests to the people around you and, of course, in and on you as well. This world of strange, quasi-living things has been dubbed the virosphere, and it is a mysterious one – we know less about viruses than any other life form. But t...
