LainePoiss® is affordable buoy that measures sea/ocean wave height, period and other properties. It follows sea surface movement to capture wave parameters. LainePoiss® can be used as drifter or moored buoy. Calculations are made in real-time inside the device and sent to the server using wireless communication. Buoy is lightweight, compact, durable and made to survive in ice water. The measurement method is validated by multiple tests in laboratory and in real world. It is easy to deploy and returns accurate real-time data from the sea. LainePoiss® can be used for various monitoring, engineering and research applications. Buoys have collected years' worth of valuable data at sea.
Real-time data is available from Live dashboard. Below two example images of dashboard mobile view.
LainePoiss® retrieval from Antarctic marginal ice zone.
LainePoiss® is lightweight and compact. This makes deployment possible using small boat. Device is started and stopped using magnet. Waterproof connector on the top of the device make it possible to recharge internal battery and get access to collected data without using any tools. There is no need to open the buoy hull and risk water ingress.
