When the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed on March 26, 2024, NOAA was one of the first groups contacted as the city of Baltimore sought to minimize impacts to transport on the Patapsco River. As salvage efforts progressed in early April, real-time tidal currents data became necessary to help ensure safe navigation through the collapse […]

NexSens Solar Panel Photovoltaic Specifications
While reviewing an application, it is imperative to understand the balance between the solar power capabilities and the combined power requirements for the entire system. Although nominal voltage and amperage values are provided, the user must remember that solar panels and batteries perform differently depending on the environmental conditions at the final deployment location. A […]
CB-MCL Bulkhead Connector Installation
The NexSens CB-MCL Wet-Mate Lid is used on NexSens CB-Series data buoys for custom integrations of user-supplied electronics with marine-grade connectors on the outside of the lid. MCBH wet-mate bulkhead connectors provide power and sensor connections, while an RF bulkhead adapter facilitates integration of telemetry modems installed in the data well. The CB-MCL wet-mate lid […]
Custom Data Buoy Configuration Guide
While many NexSens data buoys are delivered as turnkey systems featuring a NexSens X-Series data logger, they are also designed to support custom integration of user-supplied, third-party electronics. The CB-Series data buoys from the CB-150 and larger are designed with an open data well in the center of the hull to facilitate such deployments. […]
SonTek-SL Current Meter X-Series Integration Guide
Real-Time Water Velocity and Flow Measurements The SonTek-SL Series of Side-Looking Doppler Current Meters measures water velocity and calculates overall flow in streams, rivers, and other water bodies. The sensors are compatible with the NexSens X-Series data loggers using the SDI-12 sensor interface and communication protocol. Parameter data is transmitted, in real-time, at a user-specified […]
