FromDatawell BV
The Directional Waverider DWR-MkIII: Three years of continuous operation. The Directional Waverider hardly needs any introduction: it is the world’s standard for measuring wave height and wave direction. Its success is due to the proprietary well-proven and accurate Datawell stabilized platform sensor, enabling wave height measurements by a single accelerometer. For the wave direction, direct pitch and roll measurements are performed needing no integration. In combination with horizontal accelerometers and a compass this forms the complete sensor unit, the heart of the instrument.
