SeaView Systems SVS-603HR Wave Sensor
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
- 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

Stone Lab: Cyanobacteria Monitoring in Ohio Lakes
Microcystin, one of several toxins produced by the cyanobacteria that form harmful algal blooms (HABs), has become a popular topic of lake research as the human health impacts of HABs become better understood. Stone Lab is one of the leading groups in algal bloom research on Lake Erie and other lakes in Ohio. For more than 100 years, Stone Lab has conducted biology research and provided science education and outreach to the region. Over the years, thousands of individuals of varying ages have learned from the resources Stone Lab provides. Stone Lab’s Research Coordinator and Senior Researcher, Justin Chaffin, learned of Stone Lab while an undergraduate student at Bowling Green State University Fireland Campus.

From Assessment to Angler: Continual Research Ensures Lake Erie Remains a Beacon of Freshwater Fishing
Lake Erie is well known for its abundant recreational fishing. Anglers come from across the country to try their luck at the “walleye capital of the world” and search for other freshwater species, such as bass, perch, and steelhead trout. As one of the world’s largest freshwater fisheries, much effort is made behind the scenes to maintain fishing opportunities for visitors to enjoy year after year, efforts that often go unnoticed by the public. One of the lake's most important economic and tourism centers is the city of Sandusky, home to the Sandusky Fisheries Research Station . As part of the Ohio Division of Wildlife, the unit serves as a base for assessing fish populations and managing harvest with partner agencies from around Lake Erie.

High Definition Stream Surveys: Informed Management in Local Waterways
When it comes to environmental monitoring, new stream survey methodologies have revealed a great deal about water quality and streambed conditions over time. Such information can be particularly important in leading restoration initiatives and prioritizing management decisions. Historically, stream surveys have been conducted at a single point along the stream, with data then extrapolated for miles up and downstream. However, Brett Connell, Hydrologist and Director of Sales at Trutta Environmental Solutions, started developing a more intensive stream survey format in his master's program in 2010 at the University of Tennessee.
