The SVS-603HR Wave Sensor is an augmented version of the highly accurate SVS-603 wave sensor that reports heading, wave height, wave period and wave direction via RS-232 or logs to its on-board data logger. The SVS-603HR represents a new generation in accuracy and completeness for wave sensing electronics whose features include:
- Very low power consumption; fits the smallest power budget
- Very small footprint; sold packaged or as bare PCB
- Sensors account for 3-D motion, rotation and compass heading in all dimensions to cover nine degrees of freedom
- Sophisticated onboard electronics provide near-real-time wave statistics
- Variable sample set size (256, 512, 1024, 2048 or 4096)
- On-board temperature compensation
- On-board data logger capable of logging as much as twenty years of wave data, depending on desired outputs
- Easy configuration to match your exact sensing rate and output requirements
- Readily interfaced with transmitter using NMEA or other configurable data output
- Sampling rates from 1 to 8Hz (user configurable)
The SVS-603HR can be used to replace existing sensors, to upgrade existing buoys, or to add wave sensing capabilities to even the most compact buoys. Among the wave data that are available as outputs from the sensor are:
- Significant wave height in meters (Hs)
- Wave period in seconds
- Wave direction in degrees from north
- North, east and up displacement time series
- First-5 Fourier wave coefficients
- Maximum wave height (Hmax)
- Wave period at Hmax
- Wave energy
- Spectrum (raw or processed)
- Heading in degrees
- Custom outputs as required
The SVS-603HR wave sensor reports calculated wave statistics via RS-232 with multiple output formats including NMEA, so you just need to make sure the data logger in question supports RS-232 with a compatible format. All of the NexSens X2 data loggers are compatible with the SVS-603HR wave sensor.

Monitoring Buoy Supports Nautical Archaeology
For as long as humans have inhabited Europe’s Atlantic coast, the ocean has been a great source of wonder and mystery. History is full of fascinating tales of epic endeavors, new discoveries of fearless explorers, fishing communities inextricably linked to the bounties of the sea, cultural interactions both peaceful and not, and voyages that went awry during monumental storms or simply due to bad luck. In the south of Spain, at the boundary between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, one such tale involves a long-lost merchant ship that went undiscovered from the 16th century until 1984. Believed to be carrying valuable goods from Italy, it sank just across from Gibraltar in the Algeciras Bay at a point called La Ballenera.

Staying Within Budget: Carbon Planning
While we usually concern ourselves with budgeting money or time, we should be thinking about another type of budget: the carbon budget. The carbon budget refers to the amount of carbon exchange, especially carbon dioxide, allotted on an annual basis to prevent the earth from reaching an increase of 2-degrees Celsius all over the globe. If a 2 degree increase does occur, global warming effects are expected to be catastrophic and irreversible. In order to know how close we are to reaching the carbon budget, an extensive knowledge of types of carbon input and their magnitudes, as well as their fluctuations over time, is needed.

IoT for Smarter Aquaculture
With aquaculture booming, IoT may be the future of the market. Fish have been farmed for millennia but only recently has the industry achieved such a vast scale. As overexploitation and climate change threaten wild fish stocks, aquaculture is increasingly framed as an alternative that can provide a low-carbon, healthy protein source. But, as the global population grows, the industry has the monumental task of meeting the increasing demand for seafood. In order to provide higher yields economically and sustainably, it is turning to the Internet of Things, or IoT. IoT refers to technology that pulls data from smart sensors to the Cloud and crunches it using analytic software tools, including artificial intelligence (AI), to monitor and improve efficiency or productivity.
