“Data is for reference only; actual conditions shall prevail.”

Understanding marine environments requires reliable data collected over time and across different locations. A multi-parameter data buoy provides a convenient platform for integrating multiple sensors into a single observation system.

Instead of relying on separate instruments at different locations, an integrated buoy can consolidate environmental measurements and transmit collected data to a remote monitoring platform when equipped with suitable communication technology.

How Does an Integrated Observation Buoy Work?

A multi-parameter observation buoy typically combines a floating platform, compatible sensors, a data acquisition unit, a power supply, and a communication system.

Sensors collect environmental measurements, while the data acquisition unit processes or records the information. Depending on the configuration, data can be transmitted remotely for visualization, analysis, and long-term storage.

The specific parameters, sampling intervals, communication methods, and deployment capabilities depend on the buoy model and its selected instrumentation.

Main Applications of Multi-Parameter Observation Buoys

Oceanographic Research: Supports the collection of marine environmental data for scientific studies.

Coastal Monitoring: Helps monitor environmental changes in coastal waters.

Marine Environmental Protection: Provides data to support environmental assessment and monitoring programs.

Offshore Engineering: Supports environmental observation for marine infrastructure and offshore projects.

Long-Term Ocean Observation: Enables continuous data collection at designated monitoring locations.

S30: An Integrated Platform for Marine Data Collection

The Frankstar S30 Multi-Parameter Integrated Observation Data Buoy is designed for integrated marine observation applications. Its multi-parameter monitoring approach supports project-specific configurations, helping users select compatible instruments based on their measurement objectives.

When evaluating an observation buoy, users should consider the required environmental parameters, sensor compatibility, telemetry options, power autonomy, deployment conditions, and maintenance requirements.
