Study on System Architecture of Coastal Environmental Monitoring Data Integration

Abstract

Coastal environmental monitoring has become an important technique for scientific research and integrated management of coastal zone, which could produce a large number of long- term, fixed-point, continuous, large-scale, multi-factor monitoring data from space, air, sea surface, underwater, to seabed and etc. In this paper, the framework of the coastal environmental monitoring data integration was proposed, which aimed to solve three main problems of coastal environmental monitoring: to acquire and express monitoring data, then to achieve the integration of monitoring data and services, and finally to apply monitoring data to visualization and professional applications. The framework could effectively implement collection, transmission, storage, handling and application of these monitoring data, to provide more monitoring data and applications to end users. Coastal environmental monitoring system can enhance a variety of coastal phenomena monitoring capabilities for coastal zone.
