The document outlines the Angelo Coast Range Reserve's Environmental Sensor Observatory, detailing its infrastructure, sensor networks, and research aims to understand water movement between the atmosphere and subsurface. It describes key projects such as the Keck Hydrowatch and various wireless network architectures to support data collection from over 1,200 sensors. Additionally, it highlights the use of the Berkeley Sensor Database to manage and share the extensive data collected, including examples of incident reports affecting sensor integrity.

BanffEnvironmental Observatory Research Value“Mapping, Tracing, and Wireless Sensor technologies may do for ecology in the 21st century what DNA sequencing did for genetics in the 20th century.” – Beth Burnside, molecular biologist and Vice Chancellor for Research at UCBDefinition: An environmental sensor observatory is a distributed array of sensors connected by a network that is aggregated into a single dataset. It becomes an observatory when the combination of sensors provides information not possible to achieve by individual sensors.
