%ASSAGE I

The National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) in Goa has developed a real-time reporting and Internet-

accessible coastal sea-level monitoring system and it has been operational system and it has been operational at

Verem jetty in the andovi estuary in Goa since !eptember "#$ "%%&' The gauge uses a cellular modem to put

on the Internet real-time se-level data$ hich can be accessed by authoried personnel' *y using a cellular

phone netor+$ coastal sea-level changes are continuously updated on to a eb-server' The sea-level gauge

ebsite can be made available to television channels to broadcast real-time visualiation of the coastal sea level$

particularly during oceanogenic haards such as storm surges or a tsunami' , netor+ of such gauges along the

coast and the islands that lie on either side of he mainland ould provide data to disaster management agenciesto disseminate arnings to coastal communities and beach tourism centers'

The gauge incorporates a bottom pressure transducer as the sensing element' The sea unit of the gauge$ hich

houses the pressure transducer$ is mounted ithin a cylindrical protective housing$ hich in turn is rigidly heldithin a mechanical structure' This structure is secured to a jetty' The gauge is poered by a battery$ hich is

charged by solar panels' *attery$ electronics$ solar panels$ and cellular modems are mounted on the top portion

of this structure' The pressure sensor and the logger are continuously poered on$ and their electrical current

consumption is % m, and .& m, respectively' The cellular modem consumes .& m, and "&% m, during

standby and data transmission modes$ respectively' The pressure sensor located belo the lo tide level

measures the hydrostatic pressure of the overlying ater layer' ,n indigenously designed and developed

microprocessor based data logger interrogates the pressure transducer and ac/uires the pressure data at the rate

of to samples a second' The ac/uired pressure data is a averaged over an interval of five minutes to removehigh-fre/uency ind-aves that are superimposed on the loer fre/uency tidal cycle' This averaged data is

recorded in a multimedia card' The measured ater pressure is converted to ater level using sea ater density

and acceleration oing to the earth0s gravity' The ater level so estimated is then referenced to chart datum

(12)$ hich is the internationally accepted reference level belo hich the sea-level (that is the measured

minus the predicted sea level) provides a clear indication of sea-level oscillation and a /uantitative estimate of

the anomalous behaviour$ the driving force for hich could be atmospheric forcing (storm) or physical(tsunami)'

, Net or+ of sea-level gauges along the Indian coastline and islands ould also provide useful information to

mariners for safe navigation in shallo coastal aters and contributed to various engineering projects associatedith coastal aters and contribute to various engineering projects associated ith coastal one management$

besides coastal one management$ besides coastal one management$ besides 2redging operations$ portoperations and management of inland ater resources (reservoirs$ dams)' The system can also be used for

sharing of ater resources beteen !tates and neighbouring countries$ and for monitoring and implementation

of river ater treaties implementation of river ater treaties ith greater transparency' ,mong the various

communication technologies used for real-time transmission of sea-level for real-time transmission of sea-level

data are the ired telephone connections$ V345634 transceivers$ satellite transmit terminals and cellular

connectivity' 7ired telephone connections are severely susceptible to loss of connectivity during susceptible to

loss of connectivity during natural disasters such as storm surges$ natural disasters such as storm surges$

primarily because of telephone line primarily because of telephone line brea+age' 1ommunication via

.



V345634 transceivers is limited by line-of sight distance beteen transceivers and normally offer only point-

to-point data transfer' !atellite communication via platform transmit terminals (8TTs) has ide coverage and$

therefore$ allos data reception from offshore platforms' 3oever$ data transfer speeds are limited' 4urther

many satellites (for e9ample$ GO:!$ IN!,T) permit data transfer only predefined time-slots$ thereby inhibiting

continuous data access' Technologies of data reporting via satellites have undergone a sea change recently interms of fre/uency of reportage$ data sie recurring costs and so forth' *roadband technology has been

identified as on that can be used optimally for real-time reporting of data because of its inherent advantagessuch as a continuous to-day connection that allos high-speed data transfer and near real-time data reporting'

7hile satellite communication is e9pensive$ ireless communication infrastructure and the ubi/uity of cellular

phones have made cellular communication affordable' ;o initial and recurring costs-effective methodology for

real-time reporting of data is the cellular-based G8<! technology$ hich has been recently implemented at the

NIO for real-time reporting of coastal sea level data'

(.) Netor+ of gauges along the coast and the islands ould help disaster management

agencies to disseminate arnings'

(") 1ellular-based G8<! technology is not a simple and cost effective method for real-time

deadline of "%. for the elimination of e9port subsidies and developing countries gave up their demand for an

earlier end date despite the initial collective efforts of the G-..%' The gross inade/uacy of this so-called

India0s prime interest in agriculture as to ensure the protection of its small and marginal farmers from the

onslaught of artificially lo-priced imports or threats artificial lo-priced imports or threats thereof' The

proposals for agricultural tariff cuts$ hich are already on the table$ tariff cuts$ hich are already on the table$

and the spci?al safeguard restricted and the special safeguard mechanism$ admittedly$ is a measure to deal ith

an emergency and is of Aa temporary natureB' Therefore$ seen in the light of the insignificant reductions in

domestic farm subsidies by developed countries$ tariff reduction commitments by developing countries seem to

be totally unjustifiable' 2eveloping countries have also agreed on the !iss formula for tariff cuts under Non-

master clinician' 3oever$ in vieing ar9 as an applied social scientist$ the stance an applied social scientist$

the stance needed is that of a achiavellian operationalism' The objective is neither to bury nor to praise him'

The assumption is simply that he is better understood for being understood as an applied sociologist' This is in part the clear implication of ar90s Theses on 4eurbach$ hich culminate in the resounding .. th thesis AThe

philosophers have only interpreted the orld in different aysC the point$ hoever$ is to change itB' This ould

specific remedy for anomie' 2ur+heim is today idely regarded as a model of theoretic and methodological

sophistication$ and is thus usually sophistication$ and is thus usually seen only in his capacity as a pure social

scientist' !urely this is an incomplete vie of the man ho regarded the practical effectiveness of a science as

its principal justification' To be more fully understood$ 2ur+heim also needs to be seen as an applied
