BayCEER Workshop 2016

Use Cases of Low Cost Sensor Observation Systems

P 6.2 in Paving the way for research: Databases, instruments, networks
& Open Session

Over the last couple of month, components of the BayEOS Sensor observation system have been used by several institutions and scientific researches all over the world. Its low cost and open source approach makes it a first class choice for a huge number of different observation tasks.

Our poster presents a selection of these projects with a focus on:

• Requirements and objectives
• Technical approach
• Site setup
• Key benefits

This unique collection of project descriptions can be used to:

• Identify blueprints and best practices for further implementation
• Foster the discussion about low cost observation systems
