Lessons from the Field—Two Years of Deploying Operational Wireless Sensor Networks on the Great Barrier Reef

Wireless Sensor Networks promised to do for observation systems what consumer electronics have done for areas like photography—drive down the price per observation (photograph), introduce new functionality and capabilities, and make, what had been a relatively exclusive set of technologies and capab...
