Low Cost Wave Buoy Technology
Low Cost Wave Buoy Technology will focus primarily on Spotter Wave Buoys, developed by Sofar Ocean Technologies. These Spotter wave buoys are significantly less expensive relative to conventional wave buoys, smaller in size and easier to deploy.
Low Cost Wave Buoy Technology aims to assess the performance of Spotter wave buoys over a wide range of oceanic conditions and determine their reliability for long-term deployments compared to conventional wave buoys.
