Wave Sensors Brochure

The industry standard for Wave measurements is to use a buoy moored freely in the ocean transmitting data to shore or a nearby platform. This method has operational limitations that in many cases require other solutions. For offshore use, several other solutions based on down-looking radars or lasers exist and work reliably, depending upon location. Also systems based on using horizontally looking radars, even standard X-band ships’ radars have been used as well as up-looking ADCP sensors and pressure sensors.
