SeaView Systems SVS-603HR Wave Sensor

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.

Features

  • Plug-and-play interface with the full line of NexSens 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

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
Other outputs or data manipulations can be incorporated via firmware updates or through calculations on the available data stream.
Questions & Answers
Can I use this sensor with my own data logger?
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.

Building Reliable Systems: Hydroelectric Dam Monitoring in Western Pennsylvania

Hydroelectric dams are a source of renewable energy, and many have taken the place of fossil fuel reliance across the United States. While they provide green energy to the grid, they also impact the environment above and below the dam. In order to protect these habitats and mitigate any potential harm, hydroelectric dam operators monitor water quality conditions above and below the dam to ensure conditions meet ecosystem needs. Eagle Creek Renewable Energy has several hydroelectric plants positioned throughout Pennsylvania, and each is managed and monitored by a team of professionals. One of these managers is Craig Goldinger, a regional manager with Eagle Creek Renewable Energy in Western Pennsylvania.

Sustainable Data Collection: Climate Monitoring in the Caribbean

Environmental monitoring in the Caribbean may be essential, but it has also historically been placed on the back burner. Albert Jones, Instrumentation Officer for the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC), explains, “Data collection itself is not what is considered one of those sexy activities where you can easily get funding.” Still, monitoring the water surrounding island nations is necessary to protect residents and the environment. The CCCCC works to establish environmental monitoring networks and systems in the Caribbean. One aspect of Jones’ work centers around data buoy instrumentation and deployment,—equipment that will be used to support Ecoforecasts for Coral Health Monitoring and to provide valuable environmental data to the public.

Protecting Chicago's Lakefront: Freshwater Beach Monitoring

Thousands of people flock to the Great Lakes every year to enjoy the freshwater beaches along the coast. As an urban hub with over 2.5 million residents, beachfronts in Chicago have regular visitors as well as tourists that recreate in the bordering Lake Michigan. According to the Chicago Park District, it is estimated that more than 100,000 residents and visitors per day use Chicago’s Lakefront trail during summer weekends. Proximity to the Lake is not only a recreational activity for Chicagoans, but also a part of the city’s history due to its role in domestic and international shipping routes. In addition, the Lake serves as a drinking water source and as an essential climate regulator in the region that acts as a natural air conditioning affect.
