Marin
Integrated surface buoy and ADCP system for real-time currents and waves.
Quality current profiles up to 20 m from a compact, easy-to-deploy surface buoy.
Motion-corrected current profiles
Marin's bespoke, integrated ADCP offers Nortek's industry-trusted current measurement technology. Measure current speed and direction at up to 20 m range in 1 m cells. Smart processing algorithms ensure only high-quality, reliable current data are transmitted in real time.
Directional wave data
Wave algorithms convert Marin's GNSS position to directional wave data, providing users with real-time wave parameters. Marin's balanced buoy design allows enough buoy motion to reliably measure waves without compromising ADCP measurements.
Compact and easy to deploy
Marin is designed to be deployable by a single person by hand. Unlike other surface buoy systems which require special vessels or complex equipment, the compact design provides an ideal balance of ease of use and quality of data.
Real-time data, processed and filtered for quality
Marin's onboard smart processing algorithms ensure only high-quality current and wave data are transmitted. View data from your buoy in real time using our SeaSense real-time software.
Balanced design ensures quality measurements of both currents and waves
Marin's unique buoy design allows for enough buoy motion to capture directional wave parameters, while still maintaining the stability required for quality ADCP measurements.
