This step describes sensors which are connected to small platforms e.g. bouys, glider, etc and ., for platform platforms itself, e.g. satellites.
The platform transfers its sensor data via satellite internet connection link to e.g. a ftp-server or sends its by mail, and especially for vessels and stations that are not equipped with a DSHIP system.
Use the ingest tab in sensor.awi.de (see spaces.awi.de/x/kaG0FQ for detailled procedure).
The "Near Realtime Data Collection"-System (NRT-System) installed at the AWI computer department provides the downloading of these sensor data automatically. The system checks the server at a specified time or in time intervals for new sensor data. If available the data will be downloaded and stored at a central temporary disk space, ready for the archiving procedure
To define this procedure for the NRT-System some informations are to declare once:
If these few information are compiled, it is time for step 3...
