Observationssystems
Observationssystems are integrated arrangements that combine sensors, data acquisition, processing, and dissemination to observe and measure phenomena. They enable systematic collection of data over time and space for scientific study, monitoring, forecasting, and decision support.
Components commonly include sensors (such as optical, infrared, radar, lidar, acoustic, chemical, seismic, and satellite instruments),
Applications span scientific research and practical monitoring. In astronomy, observation systems collect celestial data; in meteorology
Key performance characteristics include accuracy, spatial and temporal resolution, sensitivity, timeliness, reliability, and redundancy. Data quality
Standards and interoperability efforts emphasize open data formats, compatible interfaces, and centralized metadata to ensure data
