A Real-time Monitoring System for Oceanographic Parameters Based on GPRS Technique

摘要

This paper presents a real-time monitoring system which is comprisedof field data logging subsystem, wireless communication subsystemand on-station control center. The real-time monitoring system isapplied for field data acquisition of marine environmental parameters,so as to provide key data for research both on the prediction and thecause of marine hazard. The wireless data transmission technique basedon GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) facilitates the application ofthe system, since it eliminates the complexities of arranging wire andwire maintenance. The results of system trial in-situ proved that thereal-time monitoring system is feasible and it can perform efficientmonitoring of the marine environment
