Capture and transmission of images
Access to the internet from ships at sea can help scientists improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their missions, and increase the quality of the enviromental data gathered. Data from the ships transmitted to land based facilities via the Internet can be analyzed with more powerful computers and by several collaborating scientists. This analysis provides scientists aboard the ships with valuable information needed to make adjustments to their data sampling. In addition, data available from NOAA and other internet sources, such as weather and sea conditions, improves the mariner's ability to plan ship movements to maximize data collection. Successful implementation of this cutting edge technology can provide other researchers around the world with a blueprint to connect other remote environmental data acquisition platforms.
