Abstract

A decentralised data acquisition system for remote data collection is presented. The system has been implemented in the collection of environment data for subsequent analysis of thermal pollution along the coastline of a large industrial area in Kuwait. The main features of the system are its extensive use of microcomputers in remote data collection and storage and the interrogation of these microcomputers by a minicomputer based station for permanent storage and processing. Normal system operation is “near” real time in that the data collected are available for analysis and processing after a relatively short period of time. The system offered a practical approach to hydrographic monitoring in deep waters and under difficult environmental conditions. Results on the system performance are presented.
