The Wisconsin Aerometric Retrieval Data System (WISARDS)

摘要

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) has designed and is implementing a state-of-the-art air monitoring quality data acquisition system, the Wisconsin Aerometric Retrieval Data System (WISARDS). Using the latest client server computer and telephone technology this enterprise based system will capture continuous gaseous criteria pollutant values and meteorological monitoring data from 30+ continuous monitoring sites in Wisconsin, consolidate monitoring data with monitor calibration information, and provide reliable, timely Air Quality Index information and health advisories. The information will be presented in tabular and graphical form using web-based technology. WISARDS also integrates discrete monitoring data, specifically particulate data, PAMS monitoring data, and bio-monitoring data for scientific analysis. The WISARDS software architecture is based upon Oracle server software and PowerBuilder client software. The monitor network consists of commercially available loggers and a logger developed by the WDNR using Visual Basics and Access software. The clients and server are connected using the WDNR wide area network. The system is designed to provide flexibility in meeting new and revised US EPA monitoring requirements.
