OBS

La plupart du temps, la surveillance est effectuée en continu. On peut alors utiliser les expressions du type «station automatique de surveillance», de «station de surveillance continue», ou de «station de contrôle en continu», (de la pollution, des polluants, etc.).

OBS

Des termes plus génériques, tels «installations», «appareillages», sont parfois utilisés.

OBS

«observation» : L'idée [de proposer ce terme pour traduire l'anglais «monitoring»] m'est venue en lisant un article sur le réseau français d'observation de la qualité du milieu marin. En outre, ce substantif donne des dérivés très pratiques et notamment «observatoire» (pour «monitoring station»). [Article signé par Jean-Michel Leclercq, de Divonne-les-Bains, en France.]

OBS

«Observatoire» est un néologisme intéressant. Malheureusement il n'est pas attesté dans le domaine de l'environnement.
