This study analyzes three kinds of data of Penghu waters that come
from 5 oceanic WSN water-quality stations, public metrological stations
and devices "Small WSN Floating Ball", which are newly exploited
platforms for positioning, wireless-communication, temperature-observing,
self-recording, low-cost and low power-consumption purposes.
A spatial database will then be employed to store those data and
crossing analysis, by data-mining methods, the early-warning models of
extraordinary water-quality and coral bleaching in Penghu waters. Data
will also be used to assist the temporary-location selection for marine
cage culture on chill events in winter.
Data and results obtained by this study will be helpful for the cage
culture to decrease damage from global climate change, as will as the
government to made policy decisions on extremely weather and ocean
conditions. Benefits will also be noticeable for monitoring the coral
bio-diversity environment and for sustainable operation and studies of
our (FRI's) Penghu Aqua-Germplasm Bank.
