SensorScope and SLF supported Davos Vertical skitour race with data from SensorScope stations as part of the public outreach programme. First autonomous camera deployed in La Fouly2010-11-01T00:00:0001 November 2010 The first autonomous camera module has been attached to a Sensorscope station in La Fouly. The camera is currently programmed to send pictures (800x600) every 30 minutes during the daytime. Powered by regular AA rechargeable batteries and a solar panel of 2.4 Watts, this first camera has been installed in station 1033. Located very close to the "La Dotse" summit, at almost 2500m, the station will be deployed during this winter, together with two more stations, to continue the summer campaign using a reduced set-up. Images can be accessed here Major changes to the metadata infrastructure have been made to make it more intuitive. This infrastructure is ready to use.

We're in the process of submitting a finalised version to CCES based on the project proposal that was approved almost a year ago. The delay has been caused by the need to recruit staff and get a workplan defined that suits both collaborators at SLF and EPFL, as well as delivering lasting results. As we've gained more experience with the SwissEx infrastructure, the plans have modified slightly. The project plan is going to be taking shape at Science:PMprojectb979c7f over the next few days. Successful GSN Developers conference held at DERI in Galway. Presentations can be found here Wannengrat SensorScope deployment over2010-06-10T00:00:00010 June 2010 The Wannengrat winter SensorScope deployment has now been removed, leaving only 6 stations to measure ablation rate. The deployment was very successful and 3 sensorscope stations were found to be still in perfect working order after being buried in avalanches for 3 months (apart from broken wind sensors which can be cheaply repaired). A credit to the SensorScope engineers. PermaSense v2 network deployment2008-07-10T00:00:00010 July 2008 PermaSense to deploy new sensor network on the Matterhorn next week.

Centralised query interface2011-09-19T00:00:00019 September 2011 A centralised GSN query interface is now available via the sensor metadata pages or the user home pages. This interface provides quick queries of data using most of the facilities available through the individual GSN interfaces. It also provides Excel friendly date output. Automated form completion occurs when entering the query interface from the metadata pages. We would like to make sure that this meets your needs. Please email us with your suggestions.
