MOTUS Wave Buoy

Rugged polyethylene wave buoy for all-year coastal deployments, measuring directional waves, currents, meteorology and water quality.

Description

The MOTUS Wave Buoy collects environmental data in coastal areas for all-year deployments. Basic parameters such as wind, waves and currents can be expanded with water quality sensor packages, with data handled by low-power data management systems that also manage real-time communication. The rugged, lightweight polyethylene buoy has been deployed in more than 40 countries.

Key features

  • Wave direction measurement, distinguishing swell from wind-driven waves
  • Compensation for buoy response and off-centre sensor placement
  • Current profiling with motion compensation
  • Water quality sensors with anti-fouling
  • Meteorological and third-party sensors
  • Optional navigational aid

Applications

Navigation safety, prediction and modelling, dredging, oil and gas and offshore wind.
