SeaView Systems SVS-603HR Wave Sensor
Features
- Plug-and-play interface with the full line of NexSens XB-Series & CB-Series data buoys
- Sophisticated onboard electronics provide near-real-time wave statistics
- On-board data logger capable of logging as much as twenty years of wave data
- Expedited repair and warranty service
- Lifetime technical support
- More
The SeaView Systems SVS-603HR represents a new generation in accuracy and completeness for wave sensing electronics whose features include:
- Low power consumption; fits the smallest power budget
- Small environmental 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
- 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 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

Data-Driven Advocacy on the Lower Deschutes River
Like many freshwater environments, the Deschutes River in Oregon is under pressure from development, pollution, and climate change. Many rivers, streams and lakes in the Deschutes Basin do not meet Oregon water quality standards –where state water quality monitoring assesses levels of bacteria, pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and fine sediment. Hannah Camel is the Water Quality Coordinator for the Deschutes River Alliance (DRA), a non-profit organization that focuses on the health of the lower 100 miles of the Deschutes River–the area most affected by human intervention. As a data-driven organization, the DRA has benefited from the installation of two NexSens X2 data loggers.

Expanding the Port Everglades: Real-Time Monitoring of Water Quality Conditions from Planned Dredging Operation
The Port Everglades in Broward County, Florida, serves large trade vessels and cruiseliners and incoming and outgoing recreational boaters. However, as cargo ships become larger, the port must expand. A dredging project led by the US Army Corps of Engineers will substantially deepen and widen the port's navigation channel to accommodate larger Panamax cargo ships and modern cruise liners. As a result of this project, a large amount of sediment will be displaced into the water column. This suspended sediment may settle outside of the project area, burying benthic organisms like corals, and possibly carrying harmful particulates to other regions.

It’s Time to React to Water Quality: Proteus Multiparameter Probe aboard NexSens Buoy
Water quality monitoring is essential for safeguarding public health, protecting ecosystems, and ensuring the sustainability of water resources. Contaminants such as industrial pollutants, agricultural runoff, and sewage discharge can severely impact aquatic life and pose serious risks to human health if left unchecked. Traditionally, water quality monitoring has been a slow and labor-intensive process, requiring samples to be collected, transported to a lab, and analyzed—a process that can take days. However, with the advancement of real-time sensor technology, environmental agencies, researchers, and industries can now monitor water quality instantly.
