Nowadays, the earth is being affected by greenhouse effect. A first step to control it is to maintain in observation the related environmental variables including spatial and temporal sampling. In this paper, we propose an integrated system for monitoring the related greenhouse
effect gasses. The system has been designed to be mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle to overcome the spatial constraints, furthermore, it also has been designed to work under the Internet of Things paradigm in order to satisfy the temporal constraints. In addition, we have integrated an optimal filtering step by means of a Kalman Filter. The paper presents the whole system as well as several experiments for
the data filtering.
