Satellite telemetry supports flood protection in Scotland

OTT PLS and SUTRON SATLINK 3 used by SEPA in Scotland for Urban Flood Warning

SEPA's (Scottish Environment Protection Agency) flood forecasting and warning relies on a network of water level and precipitation monitors, some of which are located in remote areas of catchments, where the communications infrastructure can be less reliable. The SUTRON SatLink3, a combined datalogger and satellite transmitter, was therefore trialled at a site in Boat of Garten, near Aviemore. The logger is SDI12 compatible, and an OTT PLS sensor was used to monitor water levels and temperature, in addition to a rain gauge and an air temperature sensor.

How to ensure real-time access to Antarctic tide data

Tide measurement station at Vernadsky Research Station in the Antarctica

One of the most important challenges, when designing monitoring facilities in remote locations, is resilience. Remote tide gauge systems operate in extremely harsh environments and require robust communications systems that almost never fail and are capable of storing large amounts of data locally as extra protection for data. Scientists from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) are therefore upgrading the South Atlantic Tide Gauge Network (SATGN) to include the latest low power dataloggers with built-in satellite telemetry capability – the SUTRON SatLink 3.
