Traditional wave measurement with Directional Waverider MkIII from Datawell
We have a 0.7 m buoy with radio communication. The upper part of the mooring consists of an elastic rubber cord to reduce the impact the mooring has on the measurements. This type of wave meter is considered the "gold standard."

Using stereo cameras to measure waves
The advantage of this method is that one measures the wave field in an area, not just at a point. The range is about 200 m.

Observing waves using radar
We have experience using radar to observe waves in a coastal area. Here we study refraction, reflection, and wave propagation. The observations are also useful, for example, for maritime traffic.

Observing waves from SAR satellites
Waves on the sea can be observed from SAR satellites. An SAR image provides a snapshot of the sea surface. These observations have a high spatial resolution and cover large areas.
