Coastal Buoy - Data Buoy
OVERVIEW
- Reliably collect near real-time data unattended from coastal waters for prolonged periods of time
- Proven instruments provide accurate oceanographic and meteorological data
- Easily transported by road and deployed from small craft
REAL-TIME COASTAL MONITORING PLATFORM
Data Buoy II (DB II) is a real-time coastal monitoring platform designed to be deployed for many unattended months in a range of sea conditions.
DB II measures oceanographic and meteorological conditions in coastal waters and sends data to a land based server by means of standard cellular or global satellite telemetry.
DB II's have been successfully deployed in South-African waters collecting data for factories and oceanographers.
