An Automated System For Collecting Processing And Displaying Environmental Baseline Data

A system for automated collecting, processing, and displaying of environmental baseline data is described. The functions of the system, consisting of data collection with an automated field station, data processing, and data display options, are discussed. Also included are descriptions of the environmental sensors that are being used with the field station. Data that were obtained with the system at 15-, 30, and 60-min sampling intervals over a period of several months at Pine Bluff Arsenal, Arkansas, Fort Carson, Colorado, Fort McClellan, Alabama, Upper Blakely Island near Mobile, Alabama, and Satartia, Mississippi, are analyzed. Example environmental data are presented in computer formats available with the system. An estimated cost (1976) of the automated field station and selected array of sensors is provided. (Author).
