A wave Radar measures the amplitude of waves under a fixed structure.
Principle:
-
A micro-wave radar beam sweep the water surface under the sensor mounted on a fixed support.
-
The distance between the receiver and the water surface is measured very precisely and in a very stable way.
-
A waves profile is consequently generated.
|
|
Data are recorded and processed trough industry standards.
Besides waves amplitudes, this equipment let control precisely tide height and amplitude.
Data are recorded in situ or transmitted to a data logger for example located on shore
