Drifter Based Nearshore Observation System
WAVY-NOS is a radically new approach to in situ monitoring of littoral areas. Instead of following pre-set trajectories, multiple surface drifters are deployed simultaneously for taking observations with different sensing payloads. Multiple deployments of the drifters, either simultaneous or sequential, will compensate for the uncertainty in drifter trajectories. All data will be stored onboard, but positions and alarms will be sent at a low rate to a Mission Centre via GSM.
Project funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway through the EEA Grants.
