A movable system for automatically monitoring the correlated wind and temperature filed of a bridge, including a bridge monitoring subsystem, a cloud server, and a client. The system monitors the meteorological parameters of a bridge surface and a temperature of a bridge structure, performs data analysis and processing on a cloud server, and performs visual data interaction by using a client. A bridge surface-specific meteorological parameter monitoring module is movable, such that the location of the sensor for meteorological data monitoring can be adjusted at any time to monitor an entire bridge deck in a time-sharing manner. A lower cantilever structure has an adjustable height, such that the sensor for meteorological data monitoring can track a height of a boundary layer of the bridge surface. A bridge structure-specific temperature monitoring module adopts distributed patch-type temperature sensors, which can detect the temperature of the bridge structure in all directions.

A technique utilizes spatially resolved temperature measurements to infer the temperature of a subsea infrastructure. According to an embodiment, temperature data, e.g. a temperature map, is determined for the subsea infrastructure and comprises performing remote temperature measurements of water surrounding the subsea infrastructure. Additionally, a metrological scan of the subsea structure may be obtained. Furthermore, a simulation or simulations may be run for an assumed temperature profile along a surface of the subsea infrastructure. The data obtained from the remote temperature measurements, the metrological scan, and the simulation is processed to determine a temperature profile of the subsea infrastructure. This temperature profile can then be used to facilitate a variety of subsea infrastructure management decisions.
