WaveSense-A
Compact nine-axis acceleration wave sensor for real-time wave height, period, direction, and spectrum monitoring.
WaveSense-A combines inertial sensing with Zenocean's in-house wave algorithm to deliver reliable wave data for buoys, drifters, USVs, and dedicated wave observation systems.
Wave Spectrum Ready
Measures wave height, period, direction, and supports customizable wave spectrum outputs.
Low Power Operation
Designed for observation platforms where power budget and long-duration logging are critical.
Marine Deployment Fit
Well suited to observation buoys, drifting buoys, USVs, and specialist wave buoys.
Nine-Axis IMU Core
Acceleration-based measurement with Zenocean wave-processing algorithms.
Wave Height
Measures wave height from 0.1 m to 30 m with high field usability.
Wave Direction
Full 0 to 360 degree wave-direction coverage for directional sea-state analysis.
10 Hz Sampling
High-rate sampling captures dynamic surface motion for robust processing.
Flexible Output
RS232, RS485, and Ethernet simplify integration with telemetry and logging systems.
Onboard Storage
Integrated 32 GB storage supports buffered logging and campaign redundancy.
Overview
WaveSense-A is an acceleration-based wave sensor built around a nine-axis inertial measurement principle and Zenocean's self-developed wave algorithm. It measures wave height, wave period, wave direction, and wave spectrum data effectively in compact marine deployments.
The sensor is intended for small and medium ocean observation buoys, surface drifters, USVs, and professional wave buoys. Its low average power draw, onboard storage, and standard digital interfaces make it practical for long-duration unattended monitoring.
