Methods and Systems for Analysis, Reporting and Display of Environmental Data
An environmental monitoring system and methods of a site are disclosed. The system includes one or more environmental measurement instruments, of which at least one instrument is capable to measure a concentration of particles in a certain size range. The system may also include an instrument that is capable of measuring a first concentration of particles in a first size range and a second concentration of particles in a second size range. The system may also include an instrument that is capable to measure a wind speed and a wind direction. The system may also include one device capable of recording an image of a location related to the site. The system includes a controller in communication with the one or more environmental measurement instruments, and a display device capable of displaying data generated by the one or more environmental measurement instruments. The system contains a network. Alerts can be provided based on conditions of the environment.
1 . An environmental monitoring system for monitoring a site, comprising:
one or more environmental measurement instruments that collect a plurality of data;
an image recording device, being capable of recording an image of a location related to the site;
a controller in communication with the one or more environmental measurement instruments and with the image recording device; and
a display capable of displaying data generated by the one or more environmental measurement instruments.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one environmental measurement instrument is capable of measuring a concentration of a material.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one environmental measurement instrument is capable of measuring a wind direction and a wind magnitude.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one environmental measurement instrument is capable of measuring a radiation.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is capable of initiating selectively the recording of an image by the image recording device.
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the system initiates the recording based on data provided by at least one of the one or more environmental measurement instruments.
7 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the system is capable of stopping selectively the recording of an image by the one or more image recording devices.
8 . The system of claim 5 , further comprising a database storing data collected from the one or more environmental measurement instruments, the data being provided with a time stamp and geometric coordinates of a location of an environmental measurement instrument, the data being associated with the recording of an image.
9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein an image can be selected for display by searching the data being associated with the recording of an image.
10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the display device provides an alert that a recording is available for display.
11 . A method for environmental monitoring of a site, comprising:
providing one or more environmental measurement instruments that collect a plurality of data;
providing an image recording device, being capable of recording an image of a location related to the site;
communicating of a controller with the one or more environmental measurement instruments and with the image recording device; and
displaying by a display of data generated by the one or more environmental measurement instruments.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein at least one environmental measurement instrument is capable of measuring a concentration of a material.
13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein at least one environmental measurement instrument is capable of measuring a wind direction and a wind magnitude.
14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein at least one environmental measurement instrument is capable of measuring a radiation.
15 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising initiating selectively the recording of an image by the image recording device.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the initiating of the recording is based on data provided by at least one of the one or more environmental measurement instruments.
17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein a stopping of selectively recording of an image by the one or more image recording devices is based on data provided by the one or more environmental measurement instruments.
18 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising storing data collected from the one or more environmental measurement instruments in a database, the data being provided with a time stamp and geometric coordinates of a location of an environmental measurement instrument, the data being associated with the recording of an image.
19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein an image can be selected for display by searching the data being associated with the recording of an image.
20 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the display provides an alert that a recording is available for display.
