  • Abstract
    Mobile sensors provide important spatial information for environmental monitoring, but current solutions are not scalable due to cost, safety, and efficiency concerns. This paper describes a drifting, depth profiling platform in development with real-time data streaming and visualisation at a material cost of around US$300.
