  sensors are becoming closer to practical reality.  Interpreting
  data from such structures, however, 
! often requires context: brick cladding sensor 
! 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 
! heavily developed with single family residences.

  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
! and elsewhere has established the base-line behavior 
  of radio communication in a number of relatively
  unobstructed environments, such as flat outdoor areas,
! and large indoor spaces.
