Wireless Sensor Network for snow-met data monitoring in Indian Himalayas - A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Advances in Engineering, Science and Technology - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Appreciating the future possibilities, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is important as it connects the physical world of our surroundings to the vast computing & storage resources. Today, WSN is being used in military, industries, technical institutions and commercial applications, such as remote sensing applications for data collection, industrial process monitoring and control, machine health monitoring [1], environment and habitat monitoring, healthcare applications, home automation, and traffic control [2],[3]. Snow & Avalanche Study Establishment’s (SASE) requirement is to study the snow bound areas in the Indian Himalayan terrain which in turn helps to prepare avalanche forecasts by collecting the snow and meteorological parameters during winter. In this conceptual paper, we have proposed to go for WSN solution for acquisition of snow-met parameters which can overcome the drawbacks of conventional established telemetry systems and improve upon data collection. Successful implementation of this network in the field will help in analyzing the snow conditions in a better way by collecting more useful data along the avalanche prone zones in the Himalayas.
