The Bodega Marine Laboratory (BML) is a research unit of the University of California (UC)located on the Sonoma coast 70 miles north of San Francisco. Since 1966 the Laboratory has provided unique opportunities for field research on a rich flora and fauna in close proximity to the Laboratory buildings. BML has well-equipped laboratories, strong on- site support staff and a firm commitment from the Davis campus to continue developing the facilities and support needed by the growing number of resident and visiting researchers. The Laboratory is located on the Bodega Marine Reserve (BMR), a 362-acre protected field site with a diverse set of marine and terrestrial coastal habitats. Adjacent subtidal areas are protected and available for study within the Bodega Marine Life Refuge. Oceanographic and meteorological data are essential components of many of the field studies conducted at the site. Environmental monitoring systems at BML have incurred problems in recent years, and now require replacement and upgrades to improve reliability, flexibility and accessibility to researchers. The oceanographic pressure sensor, operating in the severely adverse conditions of a shallow water, high energy nearshore environment, has been inoperable since winter storms two years ago. This project will significantly improve the monitoring system to provide automated, quality-controlled, oceanographic and meterological data and a processing and management system providing improved access to researchers. System will provide researchers with measurements of wind speed and direction, air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, rainfall, total solar radiation, photosynthetically active radiation, surface seawater temperature, and seawater salinity, all in real time. With data logger technology, tidal heights, directional waves, directional currents, bottom temperature, and bottom salinity will be monitored nearshore where such measurements are important to intert idal and shallow subtidal investigations. In deeper water, an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler will monitor the ocean currents responsible for transport of sediments, plankton, and larvae. Re- engineered data acquisition and management systems will increase the number of variables surveyed, improve the quality and reliability of data collected, and provide researchers with greater access to on-line and archived data via modem, local area network, and the Internet/World Wide Web.

博德加海洋实验室（BML）是加州大学（UC）的一个研究单位，位于弗朗西斯科以北70英里的索诺马海岸。自1966年以来，该实验室为在实验室建筑附近对丰富的植物群和动物群进行实地研究提供了独特的机会。 BML拥有设备齐全的实验室，强大的现场支持人员和戴维斯校区的坚定承诺，继续开发越来越多的居民和访问研究人员所需的设施和支持。该实验室位于博德加海洋保护区（BMR），一个362英亩的保护区，拥有各种海洋和陆地沿海栖息地。 邻近的潮下带地区受到保护，可在博德加海洋生物保护区内进行研究。 海洋学和气象学数据是在现场进行的许多实地研究的重要组成部分。 BML的环境监测系统近年来出现了问题，现在需要更换和升级，以提高可靠性，灵活性和研究人员的可访问性。 海洋学压力传感器在浅水、高能量近岸环境的严重不利条件下工作，自两年前的冬季风暴以来一直无法工作。 该项目将大大改进监测系统，以提供自动化、质量控制的海洋学和气象学数据，并改进一个处理和管理系统，使研究人员能够更好地利用这些数据。 该系统将为研究人员提供风速和风向、气温、相对湿度、气压、降雨量、太阳总辐射、光合有效辐射、表面海水温度和海水盐度的测量，所有这些都是真实的时间。 利用数据记录仪技术，将监测近岸的潮汐高度、定向波、定向流、底部温度和底部盐度，这些测量对潮间带和浅潮下带调查很重要。 在更深的水域，声学多普勒海流剖面仪将监测负责沉积物，浮游生物和幼虫运输的洋流。 重新设计的数据获取和管理系统将增加调查的变量数量，提高所收集数据的质量和可靠性，并使研究人员能够通过调制解调器、局域网和互联网/万维网更方便地获取联机和存档数据。
