  • Abstract
    A controllable real-time data acquisition and monitoring system was developed for coastal oceanographic parameter measurements. This system continuously measures profiles of temperature, conductivity, current velocity and direction as a function of depth at a number of fixed off-shore locations. The data acquisition, monitoring and control system features make this system generally suitable for unattended area monitoring applications in environmental sciences. The system has been in routine operation since July 1975.
