  • WaveFinder Benefits

    • Reliable: Based on standard marine X-Band radar
    Risk Reduction: All equipments located on the vessel for optimum safety
    Reduced Weather Downtime:
    High accuracy wave data even in hazardous sea states and also in darkness
    Cost Efficient: Low maintenance costs

  • What is ‘WaveFinder’?

    • WaveFinder measures and displays all the essential parameters of sea wave such as significant wave height, periods and direction using X-band radar.

    WaveFinder allows to obtain the directional wave spectrum and surface current information in real time by analyzing radar images from the sea surface, received in the near range of the radar.
    From this wave spectrum all important sea state parameters are derived.

    WaveFinder can operate from a moored platform, any land based station or from a moving vessel. Real-time information about the sea state, such as wave height, direction and period, is crucial for coastal protection, as well as for offshore operations

    * A minimum wind speed of 3 m/s is required for wave measurements with WaveFinder system.
    ** The heavy rain, fog or too low wind speed can make it impossible to measure wave by X-band radar.
    *** The numbers depend on the radar hardware, the total time of measurement and therefore can vary for each individual installation.
