Why is the SeaKeeper 1000 automated monitoring system particularly valuable?

A. Every minute the SeaKeeper 1000 takes detailed meterological readings (to climatological accuracy) and at the same time does electrical or optical analysis of seawater using highly sophisticated sensors. The detailed data is recorded on the system for capture at regular service intervals. Every 3 hours a data set is sent via satellite to the SeaKeepers data servers. Scientists find the SeaKeeper 1000 to be innovative and valuable for many reasons, including: The sensors used are modular, similar to the plug and play cards in a PC computer. This facilitates easy swapping for calibration and maintenance. It also encourages numerous manufacturers and inventors worldwide to build to a common sensor architecture. Until the SeaKeepers system, nearly all ocean instruments were custom designed in terms of physical format, electrical, and data connections. Like the universal “Bluetooth” standard for short range electronic communication, there is a huge advantage in having a common architectu
