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.
