Ecological Systems and Devices Annotation << Back AUTONOMOUS CONTROL DEVICES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING OF SEA WATER AREAS D.D. Minaev, R.V. Leonenkov, I.G. Lisitskaya The article discusses the results of laboratory and fi eld studies, carried out with using of autonomous multipurpose measuring platform for improvement of methods of monitoring pollution of water by the oil products. The purpose of the research is the developing of perspective technology of monitoring marine water hydrological characteristics on the basis of building scalable, geographically distributed network of autonomous measurement modules in the underwater space. The validity of the proposed scientific and technological solutions of the possibility of using measurement platforms as part of the autonomous position means for determining the degree of oil pollution of sea areas is confi rmed. The results of laboratory and field experimental studies with using the measuring sensor in the multipurpose platform for monitoring the concentration of oil in the waters are presented. Application of the sensors, realizing a fl uorometric method of defi nition of the oil products concentration, as a part of autonomous platform is justified. Sensors for control of concentration of oil products must be calibrated on a series of experimental measurements in points of observations. Keywords: environmental monitoring; automatic monitoring system; automatic hydrophysical measuring station; autonomous measuring platform; sensor control of oil concentrations.
