Brief description

The Low Cost Wave Buoy Technology Sub-Facility, part of the New Technology Proving Facility, will focus primarily on Spotter Wave Buoys, developed by Sofar Ocean Technologies. These Spotter wave buoys are significantly less expensive relative to conventional wave buoys, smaller in size and easier to deploy. Low Cost Wave Buoy Technology aims to assess the performance of Spotter wave buoys over a wide range of oceanic conditions and determine their reliability for long-term deployments compared to conventional wave buoys. There are presently 4 IMOS sites, these are: o Torbay – 2 x Spotters (multiple deployments) o Goodrich Bank – 1 x Spotter (single deployment) o Tantabiddi – 1 x Spotter (single deployment) o Cape Bridgewater – 2 x Spotter (multiple deployments) The data from these buoys will be available in delayed mode as part of the National Wave Archive (https://imos.aodn.org.au/imos123/home?uuid=2807f3aa-4db0-4924-b64b-354ae8c10b58), with plans to provide near real-time data in the future.
