Abstract

Apparatus is designed to collect environmental data on land and sea and wirelessly transmit via satellite or cell towers. This allows for instantaneous analysis to show how oceans warm. An application predicts hurricanes and tornadoes, and precisely tells where tornadoes are to strike and path thereafter. In addition, data locates areas to use to reduce or eradicate hurricanes and tornadoes.

Data variables includes atmospheric temperature, water temperature at multiple depths, pressure, wind speed, wind direction, humidity and geometric coordinates of location in relation to time and latitudinal position of the sun to determine rates of heat transmission from earth'"'"'s solids such as deserts, deforested land, concrete, rocks and beaches to water bodies.

Specific heat capacities shows how heat radiated from the sun is transmitted to water bodies, how deforested lands in the tropics accounts for extra warmth in the oceans lately, and how warm water moves to the poles.

Claims

I. I) An apparatus used to collect multiple environmental data variables including temperature, pressure, wind speed, wind direction, humidity and coordinates of the location of the apparatus to permit analysis of forces of nature and energy in water bodies in relation to time and space.

II. II) Said device in (I) floats on water and collects atmospheric temperature as well as water temperature at multiple depths of a given location in a three dimensional plane.

III. III) Said device in (I), transmits collected data in real time via means such as satellite, internet, and any other that delivers data instantaneously to a data collection location.

IV. IV) Said device in (I), transmits after confirming by means of software that data collected is equal to or better than required preset value such as highest or lowest temperature of a day.

V. V) A data collecting apparatus to be positioned on a land surface at locations of interest, to collect multiple data parameters including temperature, pressure, wind speed, wind direction, humidity and location of apparatus in terms of geometric coordinates.

VI. VI) Apparatus set forth in claim (V), is deployed in groups where data from one device is combined with data from other devices to determine conditions at two or more different locations at the same time hence predicting possible storm conditions at other locations in direction of wind in relation to altered pressure, humidity and other storm factors.

VII. VII) Said device in (V) transmits data via satellite, via internet or other method capable of real time data delivery.

VIII. VIII) Transmitted data from said device in (V) is used to pinpoint location where land based storms such as tornadoes are to form and direction they are to take hence eliminating need for human storm chasers and leading to forecasting of storms that occur at night or during daytime before the storms occur.

IX. IX) An apparatus wherein networked wirelessly or with cables listens to other devices directly or indirectly via a software application and provides environmental data in relation to the next device in the vicinity.

XI. XI) Said device in (IX), provides data to an application directly or indirectly and the application triggers warnings that gets to residents electronic devices such as cell phones, personal digital assistants, computers and others providing them with storm information.

XII. XII) Said device in (IX) provides data to an application directly or indirectly which application triggers sirens in areas to be affected.

XIII. XIII) A data collecting device that does not transmit data but provides environmental data manually by means of internal memory, removable memory or both.

XIV. XIV) A device used to collect data which data is used to find relationships between two or more of the parameters temperature, pressure, wind speed, wind direction, humidity in relation to a specified location and latitudinal position of the sun.

XV. XV) A mechanism (bell experiment) for collecting and analyzing environmental data basing on latitudinal position of the sun to determine rate of heat transmission from earthly solids such as lands exposed by deforestation, deserts, beaches, concrete and rocks to large water bodies.

XVI. XVI) Said mechanism in (XV) allows choosing of points on land, in water or both land and water along latitudes with exposed land over which the sun is overhead and tabulate the data including temperature values.

XVII. XVII) Control experiments are carried out in accordance with claim (XV) in other locations with concentrated forests which forests provides canopy to land and reduces solid/water heat transmission rates.
