| Water depth at 3 locations in an equilateral triangular array in the SUSTAIN tank at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, Key Biscayne, FL in 2018 | Manufacturer: Ocean Sensor Systems Type(s): Wave Staff III (OSSI-010-008) Calibrations: Wave wires must be tensed by hand so they are tight; measurements were calibrated by deploying the wave wires in SUSTAIN and checking recorded depth across all sensors and testing with waves to ensure a return in the value to a resting value. Specifications: Programmable up to 30 Hz sampling rate Input Voltage 5.5-40 VDC Accuracy +/- 0.25% over 20-80% of Full Scale* +/- 1.00% over 0-100% of Full Scale Resolution 0.025% of Full Scale Typical Cable Tension 50 Newtons (0-500 N max) *For our wave wires, Full Scale is 2.0 meters. | Wave Staff III |
| Distance to air-sea interface at 6 locations in the SUSTAIN tank at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, Key Biscayne, FL in 2018 | Manufacturer: Senix Type(s): ToughSonic 30 (Distance1,2,4,5,6); ToughSonic 50 (Distance3) Serial Numbers: TSPC-15S-485 (ToughSonic 30); TSPC-21SRM-485 (ToughSonic 50) Calibrations: Typically diagnosed/calibrated by filling tank with water to a known depth and signals compared; wave tests also used to make sure signals return to resting water level distance Specifications: Max Range: 30ft (ToughSonic 30), 50ft (ToughSonic 50) Optimum Range: 10in-20ft (ToughSonic30), 1-33ft (ToughSonic 50) Resolution: (0.0068 in./0.0135 in. Serial or 4099 steps over 0-10 VDC Analog) Temperature: -40 to +70 degrees C Humidity: 0-100 percent | ToughSonic |
