    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.

    Standard Mooring Wave Data Buoy for Oceanographic Wave Direction & Height Monitoring

    Introduction

    Wave Buoy (STD) is a kind of small buoy measuring system of monitoring. It is mainly used in offshore fixed-point observation, for the sea wave height, period, direction and temperature. These measured data can be used for Environmental monitoring stations to count estimation of the wave power spectrum, direction spectrum, etc. It can be used alone or as the basic equipment of coastal or platform automatic monitoring systems.
