Unmanned aerial vehicle based wireless sensor network for marine-coastal environment monitoring 2017 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Marine environments are delicate ecosystems which directly influence local climates, flora, fauna, and human activities. Their monitorization plays a key role in their preservation, which is most commonly done through the use of environmental sensing buoy networks. These devices transmit data by means of satellite communications or close-range base stations, which present several limitations and elevated infrastructure costs. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are another alternative for remote environmental monitoring which provide new types of data and ease of use. These aircraft are mainly used in video capture related applications, in its various light spectrums, and do not provide the same data as sensing buoys, nor can they be used for such extended periods of time. The aim of this research is to provide a flexible, easy to deploy and cost-effectiveWireless Sensor Network (WSN) for monitoring marine environments. This proposal uses a UAV as a mobile data collector, low-power long-range communications and sensing buoys as part of a single WSN. A complete description of the design, development, and implementation of the various parts of this system is presented, as well as its validation in a real-world scenario. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/RTC-2014-2425-4 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/TIN2013-45312-R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 2.475 2017 CHEMISTRY, ANALYTICAL 30 / 80 = 0.375 2017 Q2 T2 INSTRUMENTS & INSTRUMENTATION 16 / 61 = 0.262 2017 Q2 T1 ELECTROCHEMISTRY 15 / 28 = 0.536 2017 Q3 T2 0.584 2017 Analytical Chemistry 2017 Q2 Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics 2017 Q2 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2017 Q2 Electrical and Electronic Engineering 2017 Q2 Instrumentation 2017 Q2 Biochemistry 2017 Q3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0003-2286-9762 Blasco, Rubén (orcid)0000-0002-7396-7840 Marco, Álvaro (orcid)0000-0001-5316-8171 Casas, Roberto Universidad de Zaragoza Trasviña-Castro, Armando 5008 785 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
