The Bintan MOS development: contribution of ideas to realize Nusantara marine observation network

Abstract

Several marine research have attempted to design a data observation system using Internet of Things (IoT). In the future, this system is predicted to become a necessity for marine researchers as a strategic technology to continuously access data. Therefore, this study provides information on the development and application of observation and data collection systems using IoT. The coastal weather and tidal data were obtained via the automatic coastal weather station and acoustic gauge respectively. Meanwhile, the various research activities commenced in July, 2018. In the first year, an operational observation system was developed, while comprehensive baseline data such as air temperature, humidity, wind speed, and sea surface level were also collected. This collection system is reliable, provides real-time data, and easily accessible with internet connection. Furthermore, the Bintan Marine Observation System (The Bintan MOS) is also suitable for other uses such as; monitoring water quality and marine mammals, as well as disaster mitigation. The adoption of this system by other sectors potentially conditions marine researchers for data exchange, to fully understand the fluctuations in coastal weather of Western and Eastern Indonesia as well as the tropical and sub-tropical marine weather. This study successfully developed the Bintan MOS, capable of providing reliable information both off-line and real-time.Keywords:Marine observation systemCoastal weatherTidalBintan

Predicting tidal level in tropical Eastern Bintan waters using residual long short-term memory

“…- The raw data used for this research is gratefully given to us by Raja Ali Haji Maritime University's Faculty of Marine Science and Fisheries, and can be accessed from the research by Apdillah et al [25]. Tidal level data collected from the sensors are compared with data from the Indonesian Geospatial Information Agency or Badan Informasi Geospasial (BIG), with an R2 value of 0.83 and P value <0.05, thus the performance of the sensor is scientifically justified.…”

Tidal Analysis and Implementasion of an Internet of Things (IoT) Sea Level Monitoring Device in Coastal Region

“…The urgency of using IoT (Internet of Things) platforms for sea level monitoring is apparent, as they provide real-time data, allowing for prompt response to potential disasters or sea level changes (Aziz, 2019;Loftis et al, 2018;Mourre et al, 2006). Furthermore, by transmitting data wirelessly, sea level monitoring devices can be easily installed in remote locations, providing valuable information for coastal communities and infrastructure (Apdillah et al, 2021;Knight et al, 2021). For example, IoT platforms such as Thingspeak can store and analyze sensor data from multiple monitoring devices located in different areas (Hsu et al, 2022).…”
