WR-SG
The second generation Waverider SG (WR-SG) is a real-time non-directional wave height measuring buoy. Wave height is measured with a resolution of 1 cm using the well-proven Datawell stabilized platform sensor.

Die zweite Generation der Waverider SG (WR-SG) ist eine ungerichtete Echtzeit-Wellenhöhenmessboje. Die Wellenhöhe wird mit einer Auflösung von 1 cm unter Verwendung des bewährten Datawell-Sensors mit stabilisierter Plattform gemessen. Die stabilisierte Plattform stellt sicher, dass die Boje die vertikale Komponente der orbitalen Wellenbewegung genau verfolgt. Bei der WR-SG wurde die Plattformbefestigung des Sensors verstärkt, was die Robustheit der Boje deutlich erhöht.
