Wave Recorders and Directional Wave Recorders (DWR)

Wave Recorders from Valeport are a “PUV” type that use Linear Wave Theory to analyse the pressure and current oscillations generated by the wave action.

In near-shore environments (<20m depth) it is not always possible to use a surface following buoy to measure wave activity. In these circumstances, the most cost-effective solution is a bottom-mounted, pressure-based device.

What makes Valeport’s wave recording instruments different is that this data processing is all carried out onboard, giving you descriptive statistics, energy spectra, and high-resolution directional spectra all in real-time.
