Data buoys

Floating platforms for marine sensors, logging and telemetry

Data buoys combine sensors, data logging, power and wireless communication for marine monitoring. Vikingegaarden configures the measurement package, mooring and online data access for harbour, coastal and research projects using the requirements of each deployment.

Key features

Application and selection criteria

The installed sensors determine the measured parameters, including water level, temperature and flow where specified. Data loggers record readings and the selected communication link provides online access.

Data buoy centred in a wide view of quiet Nordic coastal water.

Installation geometry

The deployment specification includes measurement position, water depth, exposure and duration. Mooring, handling equipment and service access are assessed for the selected buoy and sensor arrangement.

Power and autonomy

Solar modules and batteries supply the sensors, loggers and communication equipment. The energy budget includes the measurement schedule, transmission frequency, seasonal solar conditions and required autonomy.

Equipment documentation

The supplied configuration is identified in the project documentation. Published figures and any applicable certificates are checked against the specified operating conditions.

Data access and position

Wireless options include Wi-Fi and satellite, selected for coverage and data requirements. GPS tracking can report buoy position; access to measurements is configured for the project users.

Waterproof data well

The protected well houses batteries, loggers and associated electronics. Equipment layout and connections are specified for the measurement package.

Sensor documentation

Manufacturer, model, accuracy and operating limits are confirmed for the selected sensors. No common measurement rating applies to every buoy configuration.

Applications

Marine measurement applications

The installed sensors determine the measured parameters, including water level, temperature and flow where specified. Data loggers record readings and the selected communication link provides online access.

Environmental monitoring

Configured sensors record the specified environmental parameters. The measurement schedule is selected for the study period.

Harbour measurements

Local measurements support harbour operations and engineering studies. Data access is assigned to the relevant project users.

Aquaculture monitoring

The measurement package is selected for the conditions to be monitored at the aquaculture site. Sensor requirements and deployment duration are confirmed before supply.

Position reporting

GPS tracking can report the deployed buoy position. The available position data and reporting arrangement are confirmed for the installation.

How it works

Specification and commissioning

The deployment specification includes measurement position, water depth, exposure and duration. Mooring, handling equipment and service access are assessed for the selected buoy and sensor arrangement.
