Datawell Directional Waverider MkIII: Buoy

Availability: ,

The Datawell Directional Waverider is the world’s standard for measuring wave height and wave direction.Its success is due to the proprietary well proven and accurate Datawell stabilised platform sensor, enabling wave height measurements by a single accelerometer.

Features

Real time measurement of wave height with half hourly heave and directional spectra updates.

HF link up to 50 km over sea. The proprietary Datawell HF link module is easy replaceable if a different transmission frequency is required.

LED flashlight integrated in the top of the antenna increasing the buoy’s visibility.

GPS receiver for buoy positioning has now become a standard feature of the DWR-MkIII, and facilitates its retrieval.
