ESR12 - Design, development and testing of ultra-light floating disposable radiosondes for atmospheric monitoring
Objectives
  1. Testing on the field of the sensing probes.
  2. Pre-processing of data acquired by the ground station.
Expected Results
  • Design, prototyping, calibration and testing in laboratory and simulating environment of new disposable radio-probes released by airplanes or UAV.
  • Design and prototyping of an adequate ground station able to receive the data.
  • The testing on the field of the probes previously realized will be performed. The whole data acquisition system (from the probes to the ground station) will be fully tested on the field. A pre-processing of the acquired data will be performed, too.
Planned secondment(s)
  • RP (Torino)              Month 33: probe testing in different environmental conditions. Comparison with other atmospheric measurements.
  • UFS (Zugspitze)      Month 35: probe testing in different environmental conditions. Comparison with other atmospheric measurements.
  • MPG (GE)               Month 10: probe specifications.
  • SIT (IT)                    Month 18 (2 weeks): probe prototyping and testing.
Comments

I was born in Quito, Ecuador. I received my master’s degree in Engineering Science in the Field of Electrical Engineering from The University of Queenslad (UQ) in Australia, and currently, I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering at the Politecnico di Torino (POLITO) in Italy.


Regarding my work experience, I worked at the Geophysical Institute of the Escuela Politecnica Nacional (IG-EPN) in Ecuador as Technical Engineer and Geophysicist for more than ten years (2005-2013, 2015-2017), focusing on the control, design, implementation, maintenance and operation of seismic and volcanic instrumental networks.


Currently, I am a Marie Curie fellow working inside the Cloud-MicroPhysics-Turbulence-Telemetry (COMPLETE) Innovative Training Network - H2020 Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions, recruited by the project partner Envisens Technologies S.r.l in Italy. My current research interests include cloud microphysics, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Internet-of-Things (IoT), atmospheric and environmental monitoring, electromagnetic propagation and, electronic design.

In this work we designed and developed a cluster of light expendable radiosondes that can float passively inside warm clouds to study their micro-physical processes. This involves the tracking of both saturated and unsaturated turbulent air parcels. The aim of this new kind of observation system is to obtain Lagrangian statistics of the intense turbulence inside warm clouds and of the lower intensity turbulence that is typical of the air surrounding such clouds. Each radiosonde in a cluster includes an electronic board, which is mounted onto a small, biodegradable balloon filled with a mixture of helium and air. The cluster is able to float inside clouds for a few hours and to measure air temperature, pressure, humidity and the associated position, velocity, acceleration and magnetic field readings of each radiosonde along their trajectory.
