A metocean data collection buoy that provides wave height, wave direction and meteorological parameters, sea surface temperature, salinity and temperature profiles. It is the ideal buoy for deep-water measurements, remote locations and strong current conditions.
The buoy can also be fitted with numerous other sensors, to satisfy the client's specific configuration needs, such as oxygen, hydrocarbon, gamma radiation measurement and an optical sensor for algae detection.
The buoy hull design is based on the dynamic response and stability requirements from comprehensive wave tank testing.

Features:

• The ideal buoy for deep water measurements and severe current conditions
• A unique design optimises wave direction measurements
• Modular shaped hull for easy transport and local assembly
• Data presentation in real-time
• Full onboard processing of all measured data
• Two-way communication link for data transfer and control of a number of buoys
• Designed for safe and easy handling
• Flexible configuration of sensors and data collection
• Special mooring design minimizes mooring influence on buoy motions
• Easily deployed
• Environmentally friendly
• Not sensitive to extremes of temperature
• Hidden position tracker for increased safety and drift tracking (option)
• Successful track record worldwide since 1985
