Study of Wireless Sensor Node Functions with Attached Algae Removal Ability for Under-water Monitoring Sensor Network

Abstract

This article discusses functions of a stationary underwater sensor node (S-USN) with attached algae removal ability for constructing underwater monitoring sensor network (UMSN) that is used to support coral ecological system survey activities. The experiments of attached algae growth was conducted in Okinawa coast. Based on knowledge obtained by the experiments and coral researcher's advice, container surface wiping function was implemented to S-USN. 1
