Davies Reef Sensor Float 1

A round 1.4m yellow buoy has been deployed in the Davies Reef lagoon as part of the sensor network infrastructure at Davies Reef in the central Great Barrier Reef off Townsville, Australia. The buoy is configured as a sensor-float with a Campbell Scientific logger, a spread-spectrum radio for communicating with the on-reef wireless network, a SeaBird Inductive modem and initially a surface mounted (30cm under the water surface) thermistor and bottom mounted SeaBird SBE39 (temperature and pressure). 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. 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)澳大利亚汤斯维尔外的中大堡礁区域的戴维斯礁（Davies Reef）礁湖内，已部署一枚直径1.4米的黄色圆形浮标，作为戴维斯礁传感器网络基础设施的组成部分。 该浮标为传感器浮标平台，搭载坎贝尔科学（Campbell Scientific）数据采集器、用于与礁内无线网络通信的扩频无线电、海鸟（SeaBird）感应调制解调器，初始配置水面安装型（水下30厘米处）热敏电阻，以及底部安装型海鸟SBE39（温度与压力传感器）。 本项目计划在大堡礁沿线7个站点部署传感器网络，以多尺度测量各类物理参数。项目将搭建通信、数据与平台基础设施，为后续开展生物及化学参数相关的传感器监测工作提供支撑。 无线传感器网络设施（前身为海洋系统自动化智能监测设施FAIMMS），是大堡礁海洋观测系统项目（GBROOS）（IMOS）的组成部分。
