Experimental network of marine environmental observation, surveillance and control in the Canary Islands waters (RED ACOMAR)

Abstract

In this paper, the ACOMAR RED network is introduced. This network is an experimental complex oceanographic data acquisition system according to GOOS program targets (EuroGOOS in Europe). We can outline features such as authorized users running external queries or the system sending messages via email or SMS when measurements are outside a certain range. We shall describe the different parts of the network that have been developed: sensors, buoys, transport network, control unit and database
