RT conferenceObject T1 Hidroboya: An autonomous buoy for real time high quality sea and continental water data retrieval A1 Fernández Hermida, Xulio A1 Durán Neira, Carlos A1 Lago Reguera, Manuel Domingo A1 Rodríguez Alemparte, Carlos A1 Martín Rodríguez, Fernando A2 IEEE K1 3308.11 Control de la Contaminación del Agua K1 2510 Oceanografía AB This communication presents Hidroboyatm, a buoy that is already working on the sea and whose purpose is being an autonomous source of ocean and continental water data that will be automatically sent to an “on land” server which organizes them in a database system. Server can handle information from several buoys and authorized users can see and browse data over the internet. Furthermore, buoy sensing design is very innovative, because it keeps sensors dry the most of the time and uses a hydraulic system to feed fresh ocean water to them when required. This design keeps sensors free from sea particles sedimentation, problem known as “fouling” SN 9781457700866 YR 2011 FD 2011 LK http://hdl.handle.net/11093/1852 UL http://hdl.handle.net/11093/1852 LA eng NO Xunta de Galicia | Ref. 09MMA037E DS Investigo RD 23-sep-2023
