DWR MKIII Waverider Buoy
The MkIII Directional Waverider hardly needs any introduction. It is the world standard for measuring wave height and direction.
The standard MkIII Directional Waverider platform is a compact and robust accelerometer assembly with pitch & roll sensors. These combine with horizontal accelerometers and a compass to provide a comprehensive measurement of wave parameters.
Data is continuously output via a HF radio system and/or logged internally. Iridium satellite and GSM options extend the range of communications.
When using the HF radio link with its receivers, data can be stored directly onto a network or streamed across the internet, to be received simultaneously by several end users, including capability for WaveView Connect Software integration.
High capacity internal batteries provide a continuous operation for over 3 years (90cm buoy) or 1 year (70cm buoy), without battery replacement. An optional Hybrid solar power system extends operational life by 100%.
