Overview

OceanStation is a modular sensor carrier designed for real-time online monitoring of multiple environmental factors. It can host meteorological, hydrological, and water-quality payloads while transmitting all monitoring data wirelessly back to shore.

The buoy can reserve instrument wells and mounting frames so teams can expand the payload as project needs change. This makes it suitable for both pilot programs and long-term operational observation networks.
