IMPORTANCE OF SENSOR WEBS
IN ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH
Sensors are
basic instruments have the capacity to transform various types of environmental
stimuli (physical, biological, chemical) in to transmissible and interpretable signals.
Sensor web consists of three layers sensor layer, communication layer and
information layer.
For
environmental research numerous sensors aggregated and use. Sensor web is a web
of sensors, sensor system, its networks, data and metadata capabilities to act
as a coordinated macro instrument. Sensor web used for sensing system such as
weather and air pollution monitoring stations and earth observation satellites.
Sensor web provide valuable tool for earth system science used as real time and
open ended (Open standards, models, service and Meta data definition) tool. Sensor
web also used for social ecological system sustainability by using qualitative
and quantitative model.

ReplyDeleteOhh..wow I never knew about it..thanks for the post
ReplyDeleteInformation system helping lots in the Ecological researches but still Ecologists want to learn how to use information system effectively
ReplyDeleteinformation+ecology=sustainable development
ReplyDeletethe topic is very new for me,,,,and it sounds good
ReplyDeleteThis idea, i believe , would be very useful in predicting weather patterns and climatic variations.... nice intro
ReplyDeletefuture related innovation
