Data

The MONOCLE project has developed a number of ways to access data from the sensors and platforms. These include both dynamic and static data for the sensors and platforms which are listed below.
 

Data dashboard

MONOCLE sensors and platforms are designed to provide data to processing systems in near-real time. A series of dashboards demonstrates how to monitor sensor activity in the field. These dashboards pull data from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant data services which are listed for each sensor and platform below.

Data portal

The OGC services which give access to MONOCLE sensor data include the Web Map Service, Web Feature Service and Web Coverage Service standards. Modern Geographical Information Systems (GIS) can connect directly to these services to display data on maps. Visit our open source GIS Portal featuring MONOCLE data to explore data collected in the field, as well as satellite maps of water quality in the MONOCLE test areas.

MONDA (MONocle Data Analysis)

MONDA is a package for Python containing functions to download and process data from the MONOCLE sensor ecosystem.
