Abstract
This article is a short review highlighting the important role of ambient systems for the environmental monitoring. The article focuses on modern intelligent and fully automated systems that are able to use different kinds of data coming from scientific instrumentation and sensors as informational background in order to identify, analyze, monitor and forecast a vast series of parameters and phenomena that concern the atmosphere, the weather, land and seas. Here some characteristic examples of such systems are presented along with their basic operating principles, their usefulness and their perspectives in the environmental monitoring. Ambient systems have nowadays become essential solutions for the environmental monitoring and they are going to lead to the development of fully automated systems worldwide contributing in the efforts to preserve the Earth’s environment.
