Scientists can analyze atmospheric gas concentrations with laser-based sensors that use systems similar to the one illustrated above. The sensor instrument directs a laser through gas and, based on how much laser light is absorbed by a sample, scientists can determine the specific gases present and their concentrations.

Turkana, in northern Kenya, has been hit by a massive drought for over a year, triggered and worsened by the effects of El Nino. Under a program called Kenya Resilient Arid Lands Partnership for Integrated Development (Kenya-RAPID), funded by USAID and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), CRS is the lead NGO in Isiolo and Turkana Counties working working with Catholic Church dioceses to support the County governments as they develop their capacities to sustainably tap and exploit precious water reserves in Kenya's Arid and Semi-Arid Lands, or ASALs. Substantial water supplies lie below ground, so using them responsibly and maintaining them at the County level (as part of Kenya's devolution under the new Constitution of 2010) is key to the economic development of these traditionally marginalized lands. In the ASALs, crop farming is possible only along riverbeds and/or with irrigation, so livestock is a mainstay of the economy. Ensuring access to water for livestock and people is a major pillar of the program.
Here, Thomas Musyoki, who oversees K-RAPID for CRS in Turkana, shows a solar-powered sensor developed by ICT4D partner SweetSense, a Portland, Oregon-based social enterprise start-up, at the location of a major borehole in Lodwar, the seat of Turkana County. The borehole's pump system is also solar-powered and provides substantial water to LOWASCO, the Lodwar Water and Sanitation Company, the County's water utility. If there is ever a problem at the borehole, especially if water stops flowing for some reason, the sensors detect this discrepancy as they monitor water levels, quantities being pumped, etc. With this data relayed over satellite networks (or, where available, over mobile phone networks), a team can be dispatched immediately to assess the problem and have repairs made.
Prior to the sensors, boreholes could remain broken for weeks and months, because there was no reporting system unless a person actually took the steps to report the breakdown himself or herself. And in the most remote parts of Turkana, communities don't have transportation, often they have no telephones even where there is a mobile network, and so reports were a rarity.
Amid drought, if boreholes break down in Turkana, it can be fatal for the most vulnerable people, and livestock can die in droves. Currently 2.7 million people in Kenya need food aid due to the drought, and by August 2017, that is expected to worsen to 3.5 million people in need of food aid, because the most recent rains that end in June largely failed again.

Before and after pics from cleaning my D600 sensor for the first time.
I used Sensor Swab Type 3 and the Eclipse Optic Cleaning Fluid, both bought from Amazon.com
www.amazon.com/Sensor-Swab-Type-Box-12/dp/B0029WUKVG/ref=...
www.amazon.com/Photographic-Solutions-ECDSC-Cleaning-Solu...
It took 4 swabs to get it 99% clean (3 would have been fine, but I was being OCD about 1 tiny spec). Here is the before and after in full resolution!
Shot with the Tokina 17-35, F14, ISO 800, 1/4s for all shots, around 17-19mm. AWB made the last photo a bit different colored, but you get the point :)
Total end cost to me was about $47, which is less than a typical shop sensor cleaning, and I still have 8 swabs left -- good for another 2 or 3 cleans hopefully!
It was a clear day and I had meant to do a dust/oil sensor check anyway, so f/16 + focus to infinity + point at the sky and here we are. Shutter actuation count is 3,585 so I'm above the anecdotal 3,000 shutter releases when the dust/oil problem is supposed to go away or be reduced.
There is visibly more dust on the sensor now than there was on the last check, although it's still not bad and mostly in the upper-left corner. I have been swapping lenses quite a bit lately, too. I might try to do a sensor clean soon.
Fun fact: the orange light on the right is inspired by a similar device attached to some types of city maintenance machines.
Second check at image 1,617, after all the photos taken on a 10-day trip (with multiple lens changes along the way). Sometimes, I'll see something that looks like a hair on some of my photos and I'll have to see what thats about. Otherwise, there's still a little bit of dust on the sensor, but it's moved from the last check photo I took.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory developed sensor-packed synthetic salmon that are making their way through the turbines at Bonneville Dam and other hydroelectric projects to measure the conditions that real fish encounter as they pass through turbines at hydroelectric dams on their way to the ocean. The information they collect could lead to more fish-friendly turbines in the future.

New epic video of the day's bikini swimsuit model shoot:
Nikon D800 photography of Pretty Brunette Swimsuit Bikini Model Goddess @ the 45SURF Summer Beach House! Gorgeous Brown Eyes! I'm thiking about adding a deck and a pool to the beach house / surf shack se cave! You'll have to visit!
Photos shot with the AMAZING Nikon D800 E and Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor Zoom Lens and the B W 77mm XS-Pro Kaesemann Circular Polarizer with Multi-Resistant Nano Coating. Classic California Brunette Beach Babe! Beautiful Swimsuit Bikini Model Goddess with Pretty Blue Eyes and wavy sandy-brownhair!
Shot in both RAW & JPEG, but all these photos are RAWs finished in Lightroom 5 ! :)

Captured in both RAW and JPEG.
Modeling the black & gold "Gold 45 Revolver" Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Moving Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:
herosjourneyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!
May the Hero's Journey Mythology Goddess inspire you (as they have inspired me!) along your own artistic journey! Love, love, love the 70-200mm F/2.8 Lens! :)
All the Best on Your Epic Hero's Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!

And for those who always ask, I shoot in RAW! Always! :)
A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.
My prototype temperature sensor at work in my office, while my $6.00 cast iron chicken looks on. This board automatically posts the temperature to a mySQL database, and its associated webpage displays the temperature over time. Story of what it does is at... http://www.ka1kjz.com/861/temperature-webpage-update/
Thanks to my friend Scott over on the Cadillac message boards for sending me this cover he had kicking around. The updated coolant sensors (this one was installed before my ownership) require a connector splice and supposedly don't fit this plastic cover. Mine was MIA as a result. To my surprise, this snapped right over the new style sensor (slightly bigger) for a stock look...one step closer to pebble beach-LOL!
Next step is a new AC adjuster bolt and wire hose clamps!

The infamous tags found on all Old Navy pants, with the embedded security devices that (to my knowledge) have never set off 1 single Old Navy alarm, but will set off every Walmart alarm in the country.
I recently had my sensor cleaned at Pro Photo Connection in Irvine

and wanted to checkity check the results, no spots here...
Nice work Gunther!
