Deep-Ocean Tsunami Early Warning Buoy System for Coastal Safety & Metocean Monitoring

The Frankstar Tsunami Buoy (TB) is a comprehensive system designed for deep-sea tsunami monitoring and early warning applications. It consists of a surface buoy body, seabed base station, underwater acoustic communication link, and satellite communication module. Adopting an architecture of seabed sensing, surface relay, and satellite data transmission, the system continuously monitors tiny variations in seawater pressure via high-precision pressure detectors deployed on the seabed, identifying water level fluctuations caused by tsunamis through data algorithms. During operation, the seabed base station collects, processes, stores, and transmits pressure data via underwater acoustics to the surface buoy, which then sends the data back to the shore receiving center via satellite.

1. Product Advantages

  • Deep-Sea Tsunami Monitoring: Pressure detectors deployed on the seabed continuously acquire pressure data and invert sea level variations to effectively identify tsunami long-wave signals in open and deep ocean environments.

  • Underwater Acoustic Data Transmission: Both the seabed base station and surface main buoy are equipped with acoustic communicators to transmit and receive underwater data reliably.

  • Optional Multi-Satellite Communication Modes: Fitted with satellite communication modules supporting satellite or low-orbit satellite communication for remote data transmission in far oceans.

  • Anomaly Identification & Alert Reporting: Identifies anomaly events based on pressure and water level variations; automatically switches to intensive data reporting mode when preset thresholds are exceeded.

  • Recoverable Subsea Equipment: Seabed base station features releasers and floats that separate the subsea device from the anchoring structure during recovery, allowing it to float to the surface.

  • Modular Expansion Capability: Supports integration of various marine environmental sensor modules for multi-scenario applications.
