Abstract

Rapid advances and decreasing costs in sensor technology, wireless communication, data processing speed, and data storage capacity have enabled widespread deployment of automated environmental sensing systems. Basic environmental processes can be monitored continuously in habitats ranging from very remote to urban providing information in unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution. Although research questions that may be answered based on these data are very diverse (Porter et al. 2009), the design process, establishment and maintenance of most environmental sensor systems, and resulting data handling have many commonalities.
