Abstract: A monitoring apparatus is disclosed herein. In various aspects, the monitoring apparatus includes a probe comprising a sensor to detect a condition within a water body, the sensor produces sensor data indicative of the condition within the water body. The probe includes a sound generator to propagates sound waves within the water body that communicate the sensor data from the probe, in various aspects. The monitoring apparatus includes an interface that is submersible within the water body, and the interface receives the sound waves from the sound generator, in various aspects. In various aspects, the interface is mechanically connected with the submersible probe when deployed for traversal of the interface together with the submersible probe about the water body. The mechanical connection between the probe and the interface may orient the probe with respect to the interface to direct the sound waves from the probe to the interface.

Abstract: A monitoring system is disclosed herein. In various aspects, the monitoring system may include a sensor mounted upon a submersible probe to detect sensor data at a depth within a water body, and a mobile device in communication with the sensor to receive the sensor data. The mobile device may be in communication with the Internet cloud to communicate data with the Internet cloud, the data comprising the sensor data and additional sensor data from additional probes geographically disposed about the water body at known GPS locations. An app may be operably engaged with the mobile device and with the Internet cloud to control the communication of data between the mobile device and the Internet cloud, and the app may integrates the data for on the mobile device in real time. This Abstract is presented to meet requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 1.72(b) only. This Abstract is not intended to identify key elements of the apparatus and methods disclosed herein or to delineate the scope thereof.
