Wave Sensing in the Upper-Great Lakes Observing System (Session Paper)

چکیده
This paper reports the design of a low-cost inertial wave sensor (IWS) for installation on coastal environmental monitoring buoys. The University of Michigan‘s Ocean Engineering Laboratory design integrates a Rabbit RCM3600 embedded controller with a Honeywell accelerometer to measure buoy accelerations and estimate directional and non-directional wave spectral information. Information is output via standard RS-232 communications to the buoy data-logger for storage or real-time dissemination to data centers at the University of Michigan, the National Data Buoy Center, and others. Details of the electrical design and on-board processing and related research enabled by this device are discussed. A comparison with Great Lakes Coastal Forecasting System predictions and future upgrades is also presented.

متن کاملAssessment of a NEMO-based hydrodynamic modelling system for the Great Lakes
Environment Canada recently developed a coupled lake-atmospherehydrological modelling system for the Laurentian Great Lakes. This modelling system consists of the Canadian Regional Deterministic Prediction System (RDPS), which is based on the Global Environmental Multi Scale model (GEM), the MESH (Modélisation Environnementale Surface et Hydrologie) surface and river routing model, and a hydrod...
متن کاملDust storms and ephemeral lakes
In drylands, both dust storms and ephemeral salt lakes (playas) are common. Observations using remote sensing and ground studies have shown that these playas can be major sources of saline dust storms. Some basins have recently become desiccated as a result of water abstraction by humans, and these have become significant sources of dust. The timing and amounts of dust emissions depends on such...
متن کاملThe Bernoulli Ritz-collocation method to the solution of modelling the pollution of a system of lakes
Pollution has become a very serious threat to our environment. Monitoring pollution is the rst step toward planning to save the environment. The use of dierential equations, monitoring pollution has become possible. In this paper, a Ritz-collocation method is introduced to solve non-linear oscillatory systems such as modelling the pollution of a system of lakes. The method is based upon Bernoul...
متن کاملDispersion of Torsional Surface Wave in a Pre-Stressed Heterogeneous Layer Sandwiched Between Anisotropic Porous Half-Spaces Under Gravity
The study of surface waves in a layered media has their viable application in geophysical prospecting. This paper presents an analytical study on the dispersion of torsional surface wave in a pre-stressed heterogeneous layer sandwiched between a pre-stressed anisotropic porous semi-infinite medium and gravitating anisotropic porous half-space. The non-homogeneity within the intermediate layer a...
