Surf the web in the sea

Researchers from New York (USA) have created a new concept of "surfing the sea in the sea".

They succeeded in transferring data from the Lake Erie bottom to receiving equipment and hoped to create a new industry standard for ocean-based communications.

This technology not only transfers data collected to submarines but also monitors the activity of fish species and mammals as well as predicts the tsunami hazard early.

The Daily Mail page quoted Professor Tommaso Melodia at the University of Buffalo as saying that this information technology also helps to collect and analyze data in the ocean in real time, thereby enabling oil exploration and control. pollution of the marine environment. Information also indicates early tsunamis and other natural disasters.

According to the US Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), traditional networks that use radio waves send data via satellites and antennas that are only effective on the ground, radio transmissions are very weak. So NOAA appreciates this new approach.The Melodia system solves the problem by sending data collected from underwater sensor networks to laptops, smartphones or other mobile electronic devices using sound waves without wires. Lead in real time.

The latest test of Melodia is to drop 2 sensors into Lake Erie (photo). The partners Hovannes Kulhandjian and Zahed Hossain typed the command lines from the laptop to activate these sensors and a feedback signal could be obtained in a second.
