2. Outline 1. About the Problem 2. The Real World Information 3. Advances 4. How to Share the Data

3. 1. About the Problem ● Geographic position ● Benefits ● Research www.ideam.gov.co:8080/tiempo/imagenessatelite.shtml

4. 1. About the Problem... But for a long time, everybody has give the back him to sea and to environmental... In fact, we dont know the state and the dynamics of the marine and coastal systems.

5. 1. About the Problem There are both possible approach: ● Make the model (turbulent flow) ● Analize series of time (chaos)

6. 1. About the Problem They are some few isolated works in this subject. Is very difficult to obtain useful and good quality information.

7. 2. The Real World Information Field Model

8. 2. The Real World Information It's necessary to measure: ● Temperature ● Velocity ● Density ● Level

9. 2. The Real World Information The main purpose is to do remote data acquisition for to calibration and to validation of models and research

10. 3. Advances Now, we have independents sensors, the data acquisition is through of the target LabPC1200 of National Instruments, integrated with a graphic interfaz in LabVIEW.

11. 3. Advances In the future, we want to make a data acquisition system for to measure marine and atmospheric variables

12. 4. How to Share the Data This is the question, the data must be obtained and shared, anyway!... maybe with a GRID...

13. Sumary Researchers with need of to acquire and to share useful enviromental and marine information for to learn about the state and behavior of the natural systems
