SUBMERSIBLE COMPLEX OF ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING OF WATER BODIES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01S17/00 

FIELD: ecology.

SUBSTANCE: submersible complex of monitoring of water bodies comprises a measuring buoy which is in immersion, particularly in the under-ice position, with a set of sensors contacting with water, which measure the physical and chemical and hydrological parameters of water, a compact fluorescent lidar placed inside the sealed buoy, programmable controller with the systems of collecting, preliminary processing and transfer of data generated by the sensors contacting with water and the lidar to the remote interfaces of the information system, at that the buoy has an optical window transparent for probing and reverse radiation, equipped with a cleaning brush and a screen that minimises ambient light.

EFFECT: providing automated obtaining and processing of a wide range of data on the parameters of surface waters with subsequent forecast of change in their condition, with high reliability, recognition and identification of various contaminants, notification of personnel of the controlled water bodies on increase in allowable levels of pollution and release of information required to make effective management decisions aimed at minimising the environmental risks.
