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.
Measures wave height, period, direction, and supports customizable wave spectrum outputs.
Designed for observation platforms where power budget and long-duration logging are critical.
Well suited to observation buoys, drifting buoys, USVs, and specialist wave buoys.
Acceleration-based measurement with Zenocean wave-processing algorithms.
Measures wave height from 0.1 m to 30 m with high field usability.
Full 0 to 360 degree wave-direction coverage for directional sea-state analysis.
High-rate sampling captures dynamic surface motion for robust processing.
RS232, RS485, and Ethernet simplify integration with telemetry and logging systems.
Integrated 32 GB storage supports buffered logging and campaign redundancy.
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.
