One Tree Island Automated Marine Weather And Oceanographic Station

Sensor network infrastructure was installed at One Tree Island in the southern Great Barrier Reef off Gladstone, Australia. The infrastructure consists of a base station mounted on the existing water tower and three sensor poles located in each of the major lagoon systems around the island. Each pole has a thermistor mounted at the base and then a thermistor string with five additional sensors that are located down the wall of the coral structure into the lagoon.The initial design is to monitor the flow of water through the lagoon which is often 'ponded' due to the high coral rim to the lagoon, this creates complex in and out flows and flushing of the lagoon system.The deployment in August 2008 consisted of the base station using the Telstra nextG service, three 6m relay-sensor poles located in the lagoons.The project looks to deploy sensor networks at seven sites along the Great Barrier Reef to measure a range of physical parameters at a range of scales. The project will install communications, data and platform infrastructure that will support future sensor work looking at biological and chemical parameters.This project is part of the Wireless Sensor Networks Facility (formerly known as Facility for The Automated Intelligent Monitoring of Marine Systems (FAIMMS)), part of the Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System project (GBROOS) (IMOS)

澳大利亚格拉德斯通附近的大堡礁南部区域的一树岛（One Tree Island）已部署传感器网络基础设施。该基础设施包含一个安装于现有水塔上的基站，以及分布在岛屿周边各主要潟湖系统内的三根传感器杆。每根传感器杆底部装有一个热敏电阻（thermistor），并配备一条热敏电阻串——串上额外设有五个传感器，沿珊瑚礁结构壁向下延伸至潟湖内部。

初始设计旨在监测潟湖内的水流情况：由于潟湖边缘珊瑚礁较高，潟湖水常呈“滞积”状态，由此形成了复杂的进出流模式及潟湖系统的水体交换过程。

2008年8月的部署内容包括：采用Telstra nextG服务的基站，以及位于潟湖内的三根6米长中继传感器杆。

该项目计划在大堡礁沿线的七个站点部署传感器网络，以多尺度测量多种物理参数。项目还将搭建通信、数据与平台基础设施，为未来针对生物及化学参数的传感器研究提供支撑。

本项目隶属于无线传感器网络设施（Wireless Sensor Networks Facility）——其前身为海洋系统自动化智能监测设施（Facility for The Automated Intelligent Monitoring of Marine Systems，FAIMMS），而该设施又是大堡礁海洋观测系统项目（Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System，GBROOS）的一部分，后者则属于综合海洋观测系统（Integrated Marine Observing System，IMOS）。
