Drifting & Mooring Mini Wave Buoy 2.0 to monitor Wave & Surface Current Parameter

Mini Wave buoy 2.0 is a new generation of small intelligent multi-parameter ocean observation buoy developed by Frankstar Technology. It can be equipped with advanced wave, temperature, salinity, noise and air pressure sensors. Through anchorage or drifting, it can easily obtain stable and reliable sea surface pressure, surface water temperature, salinity, wave height, wave direction, wave period and other wave element data, and realize continuous real-time observation of various ocean elements.

The data can be sent back to the cloud platform in real time through Iridium, HF and other methods, and users can easily access, query and download the data. It can also be stored in the SD card of the buoy. Users can take it back at any time.

Mini Wave buoy 2.0 have been widely used in marine scientific research, marine environmental monitoring, marine energy development, marine forecasting, marine engineering and other fields.
