Dr. Sandra Cruz-Pol RF Systems and Remote Sensing

Past Projects  NSF ERC CASA (Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere)  NASA FAR (Cloud Microwave Remote Sensing) CLiMMAte Lab  NSF MRI Tropinet (Weather radar network on west part of PR)  NASA TCESS (Atmospheric path delay using satellite and in-situ data) Cayey NWS radar Oeste de PR

Achievements  Establishing weather radar network on the island together with Drs. Jose Colom-Ustáriz, Rafael Rodriguez Solis, and Leyda León Colón

Event on Aug 2010 UPRM OTG radars NWS Radar (15 km range) non-Doppler (250km Doppler non-polarimetric) only rain rain & wind ** Note the improved spatial/temporal resolution, plus is sampling lower atmosphere. Grad Students; Jorge Trabal, G. Pablos, José Ortiz, Melisa Acosta, Wilson Castellano, Estefany Lancheros, Jose Cordero, Ricky Ríos, Joel Rosario, Benjamin de Jesús…

Future: Emergency Center-leverage Wave radars (for current, wind, rescue and tsunami apps) Can be implemented with: Microwave range finders (CMFM) Marine navigation radars (X- band) The range gated pulsed Doppler microwave radar Dual frequency microwave radar HF radar (4-50 Mhz)

Alignment to Broad Research Themes  How do your interests align with broad research themes such as the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges?  Examples of broad themes:  Sustainability, Health, Security, Communications, Information Technology, Climate Change, Big Data  National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges (  Make solar energy economical, Provide energy from fusion, Develop carbon sequestration methods, Manage the nitrogen cycle, Provide access to clean water, Restore and improve urban infrastructure, Advance health informatics, Engineer better medicines, Reverse-engineer the brain, Prevent nuclear terror, Secure cyberspace, Enhance virtual reality, Advance personalized learning, Engineer the tools of scientific discovery
