GPS Tide Monitoring Buoy

SOSI’s GPS Tide Monitoring Buoys (GPSTM Buoys) provide accurate sea level height data in instances where critical measurement is required. These buoys are adaptable to various GPS technology like the Trimble RTK, Novatel, Topcons and various other receivers / antennas combinations. GPS systems are easily removable from buoys for other applications when not deployed.

GPSTM Buoys deliver precise water elevation measurements for tidal corrections. Typically used for hydrographic surveys, the GPSTM Buoy enables the essential correlation between true sea surface height and seabed topography to be made. The use of a GPS Tide Monitoring Buoy gives the user the ability to relate water level height to the GPS ellipsoid facilitating a universal vertical datum across land and sea. Additionally, the GPSTM Buoy enables the monitoring of tide height in extremely remote locations and in deeper water than a standard tide gage.

Our GPS Tide Monitoring Buoy comes standard with a tough, hot-dip galvanized steel frame and polyurea coated body to insure long-life in the harshest marine conditions. The buoy is easy and fast to deploy—recording data to the receiver or transmitting through an upgraded onboard-telemetry system. Once deployed, the GPS Tide Monitoring Buoy can be left unattended for the duration of the survey period.
