<div> <div> <div> <div> <p>Stratodynamics Aviation Inc. is an Earth Observation platform and service provider that’s pioneered a new cost-effective method of remote access the stratosphere. The platform called the HiDRON has successfully deployed scientific instruments over 100,000 feet above the earth and back again using balloon launched, autonomous technology.</p> <div> <div> <div> <div> <p>Most satellites are able to self-calibrate however, optical and spectral units that are required to interpret data through the boundary layer face difficult challenges. We’ve identified opportunities to calibrate instruments by flying proxy beam/pulse emitters at stratospheric altitudes. As well, we see meaningful advantages to an Aircore integrated system that can capture high altitude air samples as a validation exercise. This method serves to extend the mission life of satellites beyond their intended length. Specifically, the RADARSAT constellation, the COPERNICUS program, AEOLUS as well as future Greenhouse Gas sensing satellites.</p> <p>We would like to propose this technology to the EGU General Assembly 2020 for consideration as a calibration solution.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>

The increased availability of High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) offers scientists and students the potential for effective remote interactive use of centralized, specialized, and expensive instrumentation and computers. Examples of instruments capable of remote operation that may be usefully controlled from a distance are increasing. Some in current use include telescopes, networks of remote geophysical sensing devices and more recently, the intermediate high voltage electron microscope developed at the San Diego Microscopy and Imaging Resource (SDMIR) in La Jolla. In this presentation the imaging capabilities of a specially designed JEOL 4000EX IVEM will be described. This instrument was developed mainly to facilitate the extraction of 3-dimensional information from thick sections. In addition, progress will be described on a project now underway to develop a more advanced version of the Telemicroscopy software we previously demonstrated as a tool to for providing remote access to this IVEM (Mercurio et al., 1992; Fan et al., 1992).

The Senses

This article examines the changing approach towards the representation of the senses in 17th-century Flemish painting. These changes are related to the cultural politics and courtly culture of the Spanish sovereigns of the Southern Netherlands, the Archdukes Albert and Isabella. The 1617–18 painting-series of the Five Senses by Jan Brueghel the Elder and Peter Paul Rubens as well as the pendant paintings on the subject are analyzed in relation to the iconography of the five senses, and in regard to Flemish genre themes. In this context, the excess of objects, paintings, scientific instruments, animals, and plants in the Five Senses are read as an expansion of the iconography of the senses as well as a reference to the courtly material culture of the Archdukes. Framing the senses as part of a cultural web of artifacts, Brueghel and Rubens refer both to elite lived experience and traditional iconography. The article examines the continuity between the iconography of the senses from 1600 onwards, as developed by Georg Pencz, Frans Floris, and Maerten de Vos, and the representation of the senses in the series. In addition, the article shows how certain elements in the paintings are influenced by genre paintings of the courtly company and collector’s cabinet, by Frans Francken, Lucas van Valckenborch and Louis de Caullery. Through the synthesis of these two traditions the subject of the five senses is reinvented in a courtly context
