3D-Wave Meter for
Wave Height and Direction

3D-Wave Meter
The Falmouth Scientific 3D-Wave meter provides wave direction, wave height, and other wave statistics by combining a high-accuracy acoustic current meter with a high-accuracy, state-of-the art, micro-machined silicon pressure sensor. The 3D-Wave Meter can be deployed in a multiple-mode format to allow periodic burst sampling of wave data as well as long-term averaging. Internal processing of spectral data allows simplified telemetry of wave data for near-real-time wave reporting.

FSI's easy-to-use and intuitive ACMPro and WAVEPost software provide easy deployment, data download, and graphical analysis wave data.

FSI also offers a lower-cost 1D-Wave for wave height (when wave direction is not needed) and a Tide Monitoring System.
