1. About the Problem

... But for a long time, everybody has give the back him to sea and to environmental...

In fact, we dont know the state and the dynamics of the marine and coastal systems.

1. About the Problem

There are both possible approach:

● Make the model (turbulent flow)

● Analize series of time (chaos)

1. About the Problem

They are some few isolated works in

this subject.

Is very difficult to obtain useful and good quality information.

2. The Real World Information

Field

Model

2. The Real World Information

It's necessary to measure:

● Temperature

● Velocity

● Density

● Level

2. The Real World Information

The main purpose is to do remote data acquisition for to calibration and to validation of models and research

3. Advances

Now, we have independents sensors, the data acquisition is through of the target LabPC1200 of

National Instruments, integrated with a graphic interfaz in LabVIEW.

3. Advances

In the future, we want to make a data acquisition system for to measure marine and atmospheric

variables

4. How to Share the Data

This is the question, the data must be obtained and shared, anyway!

... maybe with a GRID...

Sumary

Researchers with need of to acquire and to share useful

enviromental and marine information for to learn about the state

and behavior of the natural systems
