In-Situ Observation
1 Definition
Observations performed in the same Place where a Phenomenon occurs, normally without isolating it from other systems (its environment) or altering its pre-Observation state
Notes
- The main Characteristic of such observations is that distance has no or only negligible (within Uncertainty) influence on the Value of the Property observed. In-situ observations therefore often require either direct physical contact or small distances between a Sensor and the observed Phenomenon.
- Observations not fulfilling these conditions are considered Remote Sensing
