Product Description
The DWR-G wave buoy measures waves with help of the Global Positioning System (GPS) only. It features a patented algorithm and custom-made GPS receiver. With a single stand-alone GPS receiver it can measure directional waves, up to 100 s periods, without any calibration ever, even in the middle of the ocean.
The highlights:
Measuring wave height and wave direction.
Wave periods up to 100 s.
HF link up to 50 km over sea. By powering up the transmitter and using a directional receiving antenna the HF range can be stretched.
LED flashlight mounted at the top of the antenna increasing the buoy’s visibility to passing ships.
The GPS receiver for the wave measurement also serves for buoy positioning, thus facilitating buoy retrieval.
A water temperature sensor in the mooring eye providing sea surface temperature. (0.7m and 0.9m version only)
Standard integrated datalogger based on the latest flash card technology.
High capacity primary cells operating under all wave conditions and weather circumstances for up to one-and-a-half years without replacement.
An accurate onboard energy meter monitors the actual energy consumption of the buoy, and reports a reliable estimate of the remaining operating life.
Available in 0.9 m, 0.7 m and even 0.4 m diameter hulls
