Fog mapping using measurements from commercial microwave networks
Abstract
Fog may affect human in many ways, but existing technologies for fog monitoring are limited.
In this work I present a method for generation a two-dimensional fog map from a near-ground sensors network of Commercial Microwave Links (CMLs). Treating the CMLs as multi-sensor and adopting methods from the data fusion domain, I demonstrate large spatial observations of fog, which were acquired based on received signal level measurements from hundreds of CMLs that were deployed over a country wide area. The suggested algorithm combines data from a standard cellular communication networks with topographic prior information about the area where the network is deployed.
In addition, it enhances the spatial coverage and reduces the false alarm detection by using side information from other types of sensors as relative humidity measurement provided by the Israeli Meteorological Service.
The performance of the suggested procedure is tested and validated using real measurements from CML, satellite and humidity gauges.
