Abstract
Description

Before the exploration and development of these marine resources, it is usually necessary to measure the marine environment. At present, marine measurements are usually wind measurement and measurement of marine hydrological parameters. For example, a buoy-type lidar anemometer disclosed in the Chinese patent document CN 220795475 U measures wind measurement parameters such as wind speed and wind direction, as well as hydrological parameters such as wave height, wave direction, wave period, flow velocity, and flow direction through a lidar anemometer, a wave gauge, and a current meter mounted on a buoy platform; a floating marine wind, wave, and current measurement device disclosed in the Chinese patent document CN213515761U is provided with a floating platform, on which a lidar is mounted to collect wind resource data, an acceleration sensor is used to measure the vibration of the floating platform to obtain the wave fluctuation condition, and a current meter is used to measure the seawater flow velocity.
