FSIModel ACM-WAVE-PLUS -Directional Wave and Current Meter

SHARE

The ACM-WAVE-PLUS from Falmouth Scientific, Inc. provides wave direction, wave height, and other wave statistics by combining FSI’s enhanced ACM-PLUS acoustic current meter technology with a high- accuracy, micro-machined silicon pressure sensor.
The instrument can be deployed in a multiple-mode format to allow periodic burst sampling of wave data as well as long-term averaging.
