[0002] With the increasing frequency of modern marine development activities, long-term monitoring of marine environmental parameters becomes particularly important. Traditional marine observation methods usually rely on manual operation and regular sampling, which not only consumes time and effort, but also makes it difficult to achieve continuous and real-time monitoring of vast ocean areas. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to develop a device that can automatically operate and stably monitor the marine environment for a long time.
