Perfect Solution for Collecting Environmental Data in Coastal Areas
The Aanderaa MOTUS (movement in Latin) Buoy is a perfect solution for collecting environmental data in coastal areas. The platform used for collecting data is a robust buoy which has proven to be an excellent platform for providing high accuracy and reliable meteorological and oceanographic data.
The wave buoy can effectively combine various Hydrological and Meteorological parameters. Basic parameters as wind, waves and currents can easily be expanded to include sensor packages with different water quality sensors. Data is controlled and synchronized by the data management systems that Xylem Analytics offers which also controls and powers the real-time communication. This provides a low power efficient system offering long-term deployment capabilities.
