Scott will provide background and data on the Validation of Standalone GNSS-based Wave Height Sensor on Existing Buoy Infrastructure.

  • Co-located on 3 m accelerometer-based disc wave buoy
  •  2nd unit deployed on pre-existing, already deployed navigation buoy 700 m away
  •  Both in 30 m of water Located in Herring Cove, NS, Canada
  •  Statistical validation of GNSS sensor ‘Brizo’ vs accelerometer based directional wave sensor

About Xeos Technologies:
