The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Integrated Coral Observing Network (ICON), has been operational since 2000 works closely with most US Government many international environmental partners involved in coral reef research. ICON program pioneered the use of artificial intelligence techniques to assess near real-time data streams from environment sensor networks such as SEAKEYS (Florida Keys), Australia Institute Marine Science Weather Network, NOAA's Reef Ecosystem Division network Pacific, its own (ICON) stations Caribbean. Besides innovative approach monitoring station deployments, recently for integration satellite, <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">in</i> xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">situ</i> radar sources purposes ecological forecasting events bleaching, spawning, upwelling other marine behavioral or physical oceanographic events. also ushered pulse-amplitude- modulating fluorometry measure physiological recording response stress during thus providing even better capabilities through integrative techniques. Herewith, we describe these techniques, along a report on new calcification instrumentation augmenting array.
