Wave and Tidal Characterization

Poseid1 is a highly specialized buoy for meteo-marine monitoring, designed to ensure continuous and reliable measurements even in the most challenging marine and coastal environments. It is the result of years of research, development, and application within wave monitoring networks, adhering to the strictest international standards. In this context of high specialization, Poseid1 underwent extensive study, validation, and characterization by several accredited research institutions in the field of meteo-marine monitoring (such as ISPRA, CNR-ISMAR, and various universities) before being released on the market. Indeed, Poseid1 is an innovative product developed in response to advanced needs expressed by research institutions—needs that standard market products were unable to meet.                                                                                 Years of investment and research have made it possible to industrialize Poseid1, offering a standard configuration capable of meeting the majority of requirements, along with numerous options for achieving a high level of customization. In its standard configuration, Poseid1 can measure wave height, direction, and period; wind speed and direction; barometric pressure; air temperature and humidity; solar radiation; and water temperature and conductivity.
With various optional features, Poseid1 can be further equipped with a current meter, multiparametric probe, water temperature profiler, webcam, radar rain gauge, visibility sensor, additional communication systems, and strategic redundancies in measuring,
acquisition, and/or communication devices. Thanks to its advanced design choices, including the use of cutting-edge sensors, selected materials, and eco-friendly protective coatings, Poseid1 represents the state of the art in meteo-marine monitoring.
Even in its standard version, the buoy includes several features to ensure remote connectivity, enabling continuous acquisition of monitoring data and system status/alerts at the customer’s control center. To enhance system resilience,
the buoy is equipped with a dual power supply system comprising two pairs of 100W solar panels (for a total of 400W) and dual LiFePO4 battery packs, ensuring sufficient power even under the most demanding conditions

This tide gauge is equipped with a still pipe made with a 40 cm diameter plastic pipe, closed on the upper part and equipped with 4 side “scuppers” for water recycle.
Pipe is fixed to the pier by 2 adjustable brackets and it’s also equipped with a “cage” in steel pipe for protection against accidental collision with boats.
The system could be equipped with a staff gauge (in plastic) which can be fixed at still pipe side, for an easy view. The mounting is made by a suitable stainless steel support (slide) equipped with fixing terminals, which allow the staff gauge could be easily removed and replaced for any purpose.
In the upper part of the pipe (inner part, under the protection “dome”), a circular plate is installed, it’s made in crushproof materials, and it’s used as a support for level sensors:
– Radar Level Sensor (TLR) completed with a
waveguide cable and protection pipe for the cable itself.
– A digital level sensor (shaft encoder – TIDROM), fioating type
A water temperature sensor is also installed in the still pipe.
The upper part will be closed by a proper lid (dome-vented), which should be used for lodging and protecting the sensors.
