52°North SOS
Open Source Sensor Observation Service
The 52°North SOS is an open source software implementation of the Open Geospatial Consortium's (OGC) Sensor Observation Service (SOS) Standard.
From the menu at the top you can access a basic form-based test client and the administrative backend.
More information about the SOS and further software components, for example clients, can be found on the Sensor Web community homepage.

The SMART Project, funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (07/2011 – 06/2017): Experts in the Smart Project will develop, apply, and validate pioneering new techniques for understanding New Zealand‘s groundwater resources. Satellite and airborne remote sensing techniques and Sensor Observation Services including seismic signals from earthquakes are used for rapid and costeffective characterisation and mapping of New Zealand‘s aquifer systems. Together with a stakeholder network the research team will use new methods to overcome the current time- and resourceconsuming challenges of in-time data acquisition. Special spatial skills in hydrogeology, geology, satellite remote sensing, geophysics, seismology, uncertainty mathematics and spatial information technology will be developed to assist with improvement of New Zealand‘s freshwater management. |
