The Challenge | Rising Water

Sea levels are rising around the world, and approximately 40% of the human population lives in coastal zones. Your challenge is to help communicate the impacts of rising oceans by creating a visualization tool that illustrates the changes caused by rising sea levels in your region.

METEO BUOY

Meteo buoy - simple and useful at the same time. Various sensors will turn an average sea buoy into a smart device.

Space Team

BACKGROUND:

Team "Space" presents - Meteo Buoy. Smart sea device that will collect data of sea level. Various types of sensors like: ultrasonic, sonar, solar panels etc will turn this average Buoy into a smart device. Each sensor has its own important role, for example, ultrasonic sonar detects sea level and sends data to the costal police. If the level of the sea is dangerously high buoys will immediately ring the alarm. GPS helps to find the spot of sea level changes. Also, buoy works on solar panels which provides non-stop data transmission.


NASA RESOURCES:

We used data from Icesat-2 satellites. Namely, they conducted an analysis of the flight path and orbit. Also used data changes in water at the poles.

We conducted an analysis of the technology used in the OMG mission.

3. Accelerometer https://gist.github.com/DosanSanakbek/ab495d5914feb71c8838e5f72ddc26d8

4. Temperature Sensor https://gist.github.com/DosanSanakbek/95f7689b47fb474398d28ae2b6cb9693

All codes were written for arduino, as they created a layout on it.


FUTURE PLANS:

Create an application to visualize data from the buoy. At the moment, he knows how to visualize them, but we want to create an application to make it more convenient to use.
