MOTUS Wave Buoy

The MOTUS (movement in Latin) Wave Buoy is a perfect solution for collecting environmental data in coastal areas.

Collect reliable environmental data with MOTUS Wave Data Buoy.

The MOTUS (movement in Latin) Buoy is a perfect solution for collecting environmental data in coastal areas for all-year deployments. The platform used for collecting data is a robust buoy which has proven to be an excellent platform for providing high accuracy and reliable meteorological and oceanographic data. The wave buoy can effectively combine various Hydrological and Meteorological parameters. Basic parameters such as wind, waves, and currents can easily be expanded to include sensor packages with different water quality sensors. Data is controlled and synchronized by the data management systems that Xylem Analytics offers, which also controls and powers real-time communication. This provides a low-power efficient system offering long-term deployment capabilities.

The MOTUS Wave Buoys combine our ultra-low power and field-proven solutions from developing oceanographic and water quality sensors. We have 60 years of experience operating in the industry, providing you with an optimal platform based on the buoy, a rugged, lightweight polyethylene buoy deployed in more than 40 countries all over the world. By selecting Xylem as your partner in your projects, you are on track for the lowest overall cost of ownership and a versatile platform that can be tailored to your needs. The MOTUS Buoy is developed for both scientific and commercial use.

Ocean Currents

Ocean water currents are driven by winds, tides and density differences. The ocean circulation regulates the earth's climate by transporting heat. The flowing water affects offshore and coastal construction and also carries particles, animals, plants, nutrients, pollutants and dissolved gases. The acoustic doppler technique has become the preferred technology for most users measuring ocean current, because it is robust, needs no calibrations, can be used for both point (RCM) and profiling (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling) measurements and is basically insensitive to fouling.

Single Sensors

Aquatic environments are constantly changing. Regardless if you model effects of climate change on a global scale, operate an aquaculture facility, study the impact of human activities in the coastal zone, spreading of pollution, ecosystem changes, or are involved in coastal or off-shore constructions, measurements of relevant water quality parameters are fundamental to understand ongoing changes and risks and make it possible to calibrate and verify mathematical models.
