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

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.

- Our main interest is in testing our hypothesis using available
- designs for organizing, sharing and routing in sensor
- networks in a wildland environment. We present the results of
- on-location behavior of the network, including a number
- of link statistics and propose changes to the existing design for
- added robustness.
