Waves are periodic ridges or swells on the surface of bodies of water caused by energy passing through the water. Energy transfer from wind is the driving force behind most common surface gravity waves throughout the globe. As air passes over the water, the friction at the air-water interface produces localized wave crests. Unimpeded wave […]
Real-Time Wave Measurements The SeaView Systems SVS-603HR Wave Sensor is a highly accurate wave sensor that reports heading, wave height, wave period, and wave direction. The sensor is compatible with NexSens X-Series data loggers via the Modbus-RTU communication protocol and the RS-232 sensor interface. A pre-defined script on X-Series data loggers is able to detect, […]
Environmental monitoring buoys offer many benefits to users. They are reliable, simple to use, perform well, and provide highly accurate data.
Wave measurements can be a accomplished in various ways, we take a deeper look at buoy-based wave measurements at the NexSens blog.
