Abstract
Climatic fluctuation in the vicinity of coastal areas affects tourism, fisheries and agricultural industries as well as coastal erosion. Appropriate tools for collecting climatic data are crucial for such applications. The aim of this research is to design and develop a system for collecting climate data for use in coastal areas where the weather is variable, there is no power source and where no cable communication network exists. The system uses a Raspberry Pi microcomputer to receive relative information such as images, temperature, humidity and wind speed, from sensors and then send this data via the internet using a 3G network to a server database. The system is powered by solar energy and can store enough energy to operate for 2 consecutive days without sunlight. It utilizes a 40 watt solar panel coupled with a 12 volt battery with a capacity of 45 amp-hrs. The system was tested in a coastal area, by collecting data every 5 minutes for a period of 1 month, and it was determined that the data collection efficiency was about 96.5%. The only problems identified were caused by either a sensor error, or the 3G network connection.
