Successful ecosystem forecasting and forecast validation depend on the availability of data describing the present
state of coastal waters at a variety of time and space scales.

Water Intakes
Hypoxic water with significantly lower temperature, higher pH, and high Manganese levels can impact drinking water processing for about 2 million coastal residents.
- advance information on low DO levels allows managers to implement alternative processing methods.
- current focus is on understanding the relationship of upwelling and internal wave events

ReCON System Power Controller TM 154- Muzzi, Lane, Constant
Switched power that can handle the current and voltage requirements – 8 channels, 60 volts, 2 amps.
Programmed through low-power microprocessor using an RS-232 serial interface.
Three analog input channels permit monitoring of solar panel, battery, and system bus voltages.
Watchdog timer with relay output which allows a full power reboot of the data collection system.
Consumes 0.14 watts @ 12 volts.
Conforms to the PC/104 standard form factor
