RN-27 : Hydrological applications of micro processors

Abstract

Microprocessors and microcomputers are increasingly being used in a number of hydrometeorological data collection systems. Almost all modern data acquisition systems use microprocessors for collection and analyses of the data. The report introduces concepts of microprocessors and microcomputers for actual field users. Review of application of microprocessors for data measurement and processing in the fields of hydrology, meteorology, oceanography, geophysical exploration etc. is also presented in the report. Some typical applications have been included to familiarise readers with the latest uses of the microprocessor technology.
