SeaView Systems SVS-603HR Wave Sensor
The SVS-603HR Wave Sensor is an augmented version of the highly accurate SVS-603 wave sensor that reports heading, wave height, wave period and wave direction via RS-232 or logs to its on-board data logger.
Features
- Plug-and-play interface with the full line of NexSens XB-Series & CB-Series data buoys
- Sophisticated onboard electronics provide near-real-time wave statistics
- On-board data logger capable of logging as much as twenty years of wave data

The SeaView Systems SVS-603HR represents a new generation in accuracy and completeness for wave sensing electronics whose features include:
- Low power consumption; fits the smallest power budget
- Small environmental footprint; sold packaged or as bare PCB
- Sensors account for 3-D motion, rotation and compass heading in all dimensions to cover nine degrees of freedom
- Onboard electronics provide near-real-time wave statistics
- Variable sample set size (256, 512, 1024, 2048 or 4096)
- On-board temperature compensation
- On-board data logger capable of logging as much as twenty years of wave data, depending on desired outputs
- Easy configuration to match exact sensing rate and output requirements
- Readily interfaced with transmitter using NMEA or other configurable data output
- Sampling rates from 1 to 8Hz (user configurable)
The SVS-603HR can be used to replace existing sensors, to upgrade existing buoys, or to add wave sensing capabilities to even the most compact buoys. Among the wave data that are available as outputs from the sensor are:
- Significant wave height in meters (Hs)
- Wave period in seconds
- Wave direction in degrees from north
- North, east and up displacement time series
- First-5 Fourier wave coefficients
- Maximum wave height (Hmax)
- Wave period at Hmax
- Wave energy
- Spectrum (raw or processed)
- Heading in degrees
- Custom outputs as required
Other outputs or data manipulations can be incorporated via firmware updates or through calculations on the available data stream.

Wave Sensors Integration with NexSens Buoys: A Cutting-Edge Solution for Wave Measurement
Real-time wave data supports accurate weather prediction, safe and efficient maritime operations, and provides valuable safety and operating condition information for recreation and commercial fishing. Understanding wave dynamics also helps with the design of protective coastal structures like seawalls, breakwaters, and jetties. It also supports better prediction of their impact on sediment transport and coastal geomorphology. Wave data is a key factor in qualifying and designing offshore wind farms and harnessing kinetic energy for electrical generation. It helps with the understanding of ocean-atmosphere interactions and contributes to studies of sea-level rise and climate change impacts.
Testing CO2 Removal Strategies in the Pacific Northwest
The ocean plays a key role in carbon dioxide (CO2) removal and storage, also known as carbon sequestration. However, with increasing emissions, a large amount of CO2 escapes into the atmosphere, worsening climate change and leading to increases in surface temperatures. In order to mitigate some of these impacts, researchers like Ally Savoie at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are working hard to identify ways to safely improve the CO2 removal and storage capabilities in the ocean. Savoie started her career at Wright State University , where she worked in Silvia Newell’s lab examining biogeochemical cycling of nutrients in a river system. From there, she decided to pursue a master’s in marine science at the University of Southern Mississippi with Dr.
Smart Buoys Advance Climate Monitoring in Swiss Lakes
Lakes are sentinels of climate change . Globally, they are warming at an unprecedented but uneven rate, and in many places they also face direct human pressure, including from agriculture and recreation. In the Alps, scientists generally agree that climate change is of particular threat to remote lakes , where more pronounced warming threatens fragile ecosystems. Alpine Lakes in a Changing Climate Matteo Tonellotto is part of the team at the Environmental Observatory of the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland (OASI)–a multidisciplinary team of scientists, IT specialists, and chemical laboratory technicians committed to collecting, managing, and integrating high-quality environmental data.
Connecting with Nature in Real-Time at the Abernathy Field Station
Just five miles away from Washington and Jefferson (W&J) College is the 57-acre Abernathy Field Station . Generously donated by the Abernathy family in 2017, the field station has served as an outdoor lab to hundreds of undergraduate students over the years. Many classes use the Abernathy Field Station every week. For example, in BIO 111, students spend 15 weeks conducting their own research at the field station using a combination of sampling, field observations, and real-time environmental data, giving them a look into the world of science and a closer relationship with nature. “We like to start the students in the research process in their first Biology class.
