[Esip-envirosensing] Environmental Sensing Project

[John Graybeal]

A suggestion is to perform measurements  of all sensors in their deployed configuration, before and after the scientific measurements, using known test conditions.

Also keeping record of all the raw data from the sensors can help detect discontinuities and oversampling compensate for noisy sensing results.

Hi all,

I am a masters student at Pace University working on an Environmental Sensing Project for my final Capstone Project. For this project we are working on developing a data reporting system for a raft of sensors sitting in our on campus pond. The raft collects temperature, pH, pH in Millivolts, Conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen in percentages, Dissolved Oxygen in mg/L, Turbidity, and Depth measurements.

One the things my team has been asked to do for this project is detect and counter data drift in these sensors. From what I’ve been able to research, most scientists do this by having a secondary sensor against which to test the data from the first and determine if things are getting out of whack. As we don’t have secondary sensors, does anyone have any suggestions for how I could do this?

Many thanks,
Leanne
