Abstract :
The application of linear programming to the problem of designing an environmental observing network consisting of multiple sensor and platform systems in light of budget and other limitations is documented. A numerical model for the optimization of the network is described, and its strengths and limitations are discussed. A case study is described and evaluated. The value of the planner of the model and its output is assessed
