SMER Sensor Network

Wireless IQeye3 at TCS3 http://stat.hpwren.ucsd.edu/cameras/smer-iqeye2.JPG photo by: Pablo Bryant The Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve (SMER) implemented a sensor network in 1999 that includes an array of real-time sensors, web cameras, and weather stations. The major infrastructure is a six-node wireless backbone that provides a communication bubble across nearly 70 percent of the reserve enabling in situ sensors and 802.11b compliant technology to stream data or access the world wide web.

The SMER network allows worldwide scientists to remotely access data that is specifically related to their studies; for instance, hydrology sensors allow researchers to remotely monitor real-time pressure, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and conductivity of water flowing in the Santa Margarita River.
 
The Field Stations Program staff encourages and aids users in deploying studies that take advantage of this technology for data collection, which falls into two categories: 1) non-proprietary data and 2) restricted-access data. We are continually expanding the SMER sensor network and encourage new collaborators and users.
