Abstract:

Real time monitoring is the prerequisite and foundation for internal solitary wave (ISW) warning. This article proposes an ISWs monitoring system based on the Tiantong communication, and the ocean current characteristics of ISW processes. The system is equipped with current measuring instrument at the buoy for real-time observation of profile currents, and transmits data in frames and packet loss retransmissions to ensure reliable and real-time transmission of observed data; on the cloud platform, the system separates data reception and ISWs identification functions, reduces the interaction between modules and improves the stability of system. The application results of offshore engineering show that the system operates stably, with a data acquisition rate of 100% at the buoy and an effective data reception rate of 95.1% at the cloud. The system’s automated ISWs monitoring function effectively improves the efficiency of ISWs recognition and ensures the construction safety of the target sea area.
