sensors are becoming closer to practical reality. Interpreting
data from such structures, however,

! high temperatures as a result of radiant heating
! from solar or from wildfire. Interpreting such data
often requires knowing the environmental conditions
! surrounding the structure. Convenience dictates that
any such surrounding network be wireless and self-organizing.
! Wireless self-organizing sensor networks are the topic
! of much current interest. One of the most difficult
! aspects to constrain with these networks is the
! efficacy of radio communications. Work at Berkeley
! and elsewhere has established base-line behavior
of radio communication in a number of relatively
unobstructed environments, such as flat outdoor areas,
! and large indoor and indoor corridors.

Here, we present the results of field experiments using the
! Mica2 platfrom, and Atmel 128L microprocessor running
! the Tiny Operating System (TinyOS) deployed in Claremont
! Canyon, a wooded riparian environment
straddling the Berkeley and Oakland (CA)
city limits. Vegetation in Claremont Canyon consists
! of a high proportion of Eucalyptus and Monterey Pine
groves, extremely flammable in the dry conditions
common in late summer and early autumn in the area.
The upper ends of the canyon are part of the East Bay
Regional Parks system, while the lower parts are

sensors are becoming closer to practical reality. Interpreting
data from such structures, however,
! often requires context. For example, temperature sensors
! fixed to the exterior of a building may record high
! temperatures as a result of radiant heat from a solar
! source, or from a wildfire. Interpreting such data
often requires knowing the environmental conditions
! surrounding the structure, which may also be monitored
! by networked sensors. Convenience dictates that
any such surrounding network be wireless and self-organizing.

! The efficacy of low power radio communication in wireless networks
! not well understood. Work at Berkeley

of radio communication in a number of relatively
unobstructed environments, such as flat outdoor areas,
