NEW Datawell - Hybrid Power Option
Using a combination of solar panels, Boostcap capacitors and the primary cells the battery life can be doubled. The solar cells supply up to 15 times the energy requred by the DWR, the excess being stored in the Boostcaps. The system is maintenance free and robust, extending the possible buoy deployment times. Available on all buoys.
Datawell - Directional Waverider - DWR MkIII
Spherical buoy at 70cm or 90cm dia. HF radio with onboard logging and GPS positioning. Satellite telemetry and GSM options. Supported by W@ves21 software for real-time display and post processing of data.
Datawell - Directional Waverider - DWR-G
Surface buoy at 40cm, 70cm or 90cm dia. Measuring techniques based on the Global Positioning System (GPS), eliminating traditional use of accelerometers and magnetic compasses. Offers precision to 1cm with moored or free floating operation. No calibration requirements. Supported by W@ves21 software for real-time display and post processing of data.
Non-directional
Aanderaa - Recording Doppler Current Profiler - RDCP600
A bi-product of the surface referenced data acquisition is the measurement of waves. See entry under Currents.
Aanderaa - Wave & Tide Recorder - WTR-9
Sub surface, pressure based transducer, self recording (DSU) instrument with remote cabling options for real time data.
Datawell - Waverider - WR-SG (digital)
Surface buoy at 70cm or 90cm dia. HF radio with onboard logging and GPS positioning. Satellite telemetry and GSM options. Supported by W@ves21 software for real-time display and post processing of data.
Rosemount - WaveRadar Rex
Third generation, non-invasive, highly stable, precision microwave based system for measurement of waves and sea-level. BaseefaATEX and UL (USA) EEx-certified and recognized as the industry standard. AC/DC power, analogue and digital data output. Option for Remote Display Unit RDU40. Measuring range 3-65m, accurate to less than ±6mm at 50m. For further details see Wave Radar.
