Crowdsourcing platforms, systems, and methods for generating environmental data reports

摘要

The platforms, systems, methods and computer readable media provided herein monitor a shore or near shore environment using a plurality of sensors, each sensor associated with a near shore water recreationist or near shore water recreationist equipment. The platforms, systems, methods and computer readable media provided herein include a server application configured to generate and transmit an environmental data report. The platforms, systems, methods and computer readable media provided herein include a device configured to receive the environmental data report.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented shore or near shore environment monitoring system comprising a server comprising a server processor and non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoded with a computer program including instructions executable by the server processor to create a server application comprising:
a. a software module configured to receive environmental data from a plurality of sensors, each sensor associated with a near shore water recreationist or near shore water recreationist equipment, wherein each sensor comprises:
i. a detector configured to collect environmental data pertaining to a shore or near shore environment; andii. a communications element configured to transmit the environmental data collected by the detector; b. a software module configured to parse and clean the environmental data received from each sensor; c. a software module configured to apply an algorithm to the parsed and cleaned environmental data to generate pre-analytic data, the pre-analytic data comprising one or more events and one or more conditions to which one or more sensors was subjected, the pre-analytic data comprising one or more of: shore exposure, sea level rise, wave position, wave travel direction, wave travel speed, wave and set timing, wave kinetic energy, wave potential energy, wave break energy, shore current speed, shore current direction, wave heights, and wave phase;
d. a software module configured to apply an algorithm to a set of pre-analytic data to generate analytic data; ande. a software module configured to generate an environmental data report comprising a shore or near shore environmental condition, the shore or near shore environmental condition generated using analytic data.
