Integrated Data Logger and Wave Sensor
The Fugro OCEANOR Wavesense is an inertial sensor measuring the motion of a buoy floating on the ocean surface. Time series of 3-dimensional buoy motion and wave parameters like height, period, direction and a number of other parameters are the outputs of the sensor.
The sensor is integrated into Fugro OCEANOR’s datalogger Geni 3and can thus be directly interfaced to a number of sensors and communication devices.
The sensor is tailor made for wave measurements, which gives it a number of advantages compared to other more general purpose motion sensors on the market.
The most important are:
- Low power consumption
- Integrated into the datalogger
- Low price
- Direct output of standard oceanographics wave parameters and statistics
