<p>An apparatus for monitoring environmental conditions that processes information (14) to create and display (22) information concerning changes in the status (68) of environmental conditions. The apparatus comprises a means (16) of transforming measured values of more than one parameter of the condition using a function dependent on at least one of the baseline and critical values of the conditions. In a preferred form, the function is a non-linear transformation function (54). The apparatus further includes mapping values for mapping the function to a sequence of reference values and generating a deviation indicator for each parameter. The deviation indicators are then analyzed to generate and display (22) information concerning the changed status of the environmental (i.e. meteorological or geological) conditions.</p> |
