What a difference a second makes.... (as automatically seen by an
HPWREN motion-detect camera)
Retardant operations had a minor glitch from Ramona AAB during
product transfer from Airslide trailer. Lots of clean-up required
by airbase staff. The powder is moved using low air pressure from
truck transfer, about 6-10 PSI as the air escapes out when powder
moves inside.
NOTE: No one was hurt after the airsock broke on back of retardant
trailer, causing P-100 powder burst into air surrounding operations,
loading pits and way out & over T-70 in pit #1 about 100' away. The
airsock lets the air out as powder goes into trailer.

sound samples as they are being collected, only a few of them
actually contain wolf howls. Clicking on either image will lead to an
almost 6 megabyte sound file in .wav format.

Initial experimental setup for a wind-based power generator on the
roof of the San Diego Supercomputer Center. The plan is to move it to
an HPWREN site where solar power alone has proven insufficient after many
cloudy days.

to National Park Service Intern and CSUCI student Nick de Roulhac
at the NPS Cabrillo National Monument. Roger participated from the
exhibit of this year's annual meeting of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, using special glasses to view the
images from two projectors via polarizing filters. The Cabrillo
National Monument setup included two cameras. Two separate simultaneous
skype streams provided the video data transport.

Flash flooding illustration at the river crossing in the SDSU Santa
Margarita Ecological Reserve, where it started with the water level
high enough to just get feet wet. Just minutes later crossing the
river would probably not be survivable, due to the river's raging
nature, along with the generally rocky environment.
The images are from Monday, January 18, 2010.
