Product
The Buoy for meteorological, hydrographic and water quality monitoring
- Measurement of meteorological parameters including: wind (wind speed, wind direction), air temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, solar radiation.
- Observation of hydrographic parameters: current (flow profile), wave (wave height, wave period and wave direction).

WXT536 Multi-Parameter Weather Sensor
- Low power consumption is ideal for battery powered systems
- No moving parts for durability and long maintenance intervals
- Easy integration with 3rd party data collection platforms
MOTUS Stand-Alone Sensor
- For larger buoys, the response to short wavelengths may be suppressed. This can to some extent be compensated for by activating and tuning the build in transfer function.
- The sensor can be placed in non-ideal location on the buoy. The off-center compensation can be enabled to remove the errors that in some cases may be significant.
- Buoys may have magnetic parts affecting wave sensors and other sensors requiring a magnetometer or compass. The MOTUS can receive an external compass directly and utilize this to ensure correct wave direction data.
VnEmisoft automatic monitoring data management software
Overview
A marine buoy operates continuously and in real-time, collecting 24/7 data on critical parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, currents, waves, water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and water quality. This data is instantly transmitted to the control center, enabling continuous monitoring and assessment of marine conditions.
The buoy is designed to withstand various harsh environmental conditions, from calm coastal areas to rough offshore waters. With high durability, the system ensures stable and reliable operation over long periods.
One highlight of the buoy is its multi-layer measurement capability. The buoy can be equipped with sensors at various depths, allowing for detailed information collection on water column structure and parameter variations with depth.
Besides its monitoring function, the buoy can integrate additional features such as signaling lights, alarm horns, or environmental data collection systems, enhancing its applicability and efficiency.
Compared to traditional monitoring methods such as using ships or building fixed stations, the marine buoy offers a more cost-effective solution. The investment, operation, and maintenance costs of the buoy are significantly lower, while providing more continuous and accurate data.
Applications
Marine buoys for oceanographic and environmental monitoring are widely applied in many fields, including:
-
- Scientific Research: Providing data for studies in oceanography, meteorology, hydrology, marine ecology, and climate change.
- Weather and Hydrological Forecasting: Providing input data for models predicting sea waves, sea level, storms, coastal floods, and other oceanic phenomena.
- Marine Environmental Management: Monitoring seawater quality, detecting pollution, and assessing the impact of coastal activities on the environment.
- Maritime Support: Providing information on weather and oceanographic conditions for safe marine operations.
- Tourism Management: Providing information on seawater quality and safety conditions for coastal tourism activities.
