Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to observation of ocean waves and ocean currents, in particular to a mobile observation system for surface waves and currents used for measuring dynamic parameters such as ocean surface wave fields and flow fields. Background technique [0002] Among the various ocean hydrological elements, waves have the greatest and most complex influence on human activities. Providing high-quality wave data is helpful for understanding wave characteristics, and then provides an important basis for ocean development, natural disaster prevention, ocean engineering planning, and navigation safety. [0003] Wave observation methods are mainly divided into direct observation and telemetry. The former generally directly observes the wave characteristics through direct contact with the waves through observation instruments; the latter uses photography or radio to obtain wave data. Wave buoys are unattended, have the advantages of long-term operation...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Traditional acceleration-type wave buoys generally observe near-shore waves in a fixed-point manner. Due to the huge body and mooring system involved, the deployment is more complicated, the cost is high, and the observation ...
