The probe of the CANS automatically measures several parameters in the sea, such as water temperature, current direction and speed, salinity, dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll-a contents, and then sends the data to the host computer via cellular phone network.
Any people can get real-time data from the probe via Internet Web site.
We are planning to deploy several probes of the CANS in the coastal water around Japan after the test. We believe that our CANS has huge potential to improve the lives of many people in the coastal area. Now, we are trying to get some data under the drifting ice in the winter season of 2000-2001. You can access the real-time data on this web site, although the data is shown in only Japanese, yet.
