As reported on the UCB home page, the Keck Hydrowatch sensor network project was featured on the July 22nd edition of KQED’s science program, Quest. Collin Bode, a programmer who occasionally sits in the BSCIT office when he’s not working in the field stations, makes a few appearances in the video. Collin is working with Ginger Ogle and John Deck to develop a system for the retrieval, storage, and display of automated time-series data from the sensor network deployed for Keck Hydrowatch. They are implementing a data architecture designed by CUAHSI called the “Observations Data Model” (moving it to the open source MySQL database and extending it to handle logging and other capabilities) and developing the necessary scripts and libraries to input data from multiple sources. In the second phase of the project, a web-based system for viewing and downloading the sensor network data will be developed.
