When the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed on March 26, 2024, NOAA was one of the first groups contacted as the city of Baltimore sought to minimize impacts to transport on the Patapsco River. As salvage efforts progressed in early April, real-time tidal currents data became necessary to help ensure safe navigation through the collapse […]

NexSens Solar Panel Photovoltaic Specifications
While reviewing an application, it is imperative to understand the balance between the solar power capabilities and the combined power requirements for the entire system. Although nominal voltage and amperage values are provided, the user must remember that solar panels and batteries perform differently depending on the environmental conditions at the final deployment location. A […]
Water Monitoring Buoy Systems
Water monitoring buoys are an easy and cost-efficient way to conduct research and monitor water quality reliably, with highly accurate data.
Planning a Medium-Deep Water Mooring for Small Data Buoys
Note: NexSens Technology supplies mooring hardware to support user-designed systems but does not endorse any particular mooring strategy for any specific application and does not take responsibility for mooring performance or damage resulting from mooring failure. Medium-Deep Water Deployment Considerations While many medium-deep water (>100m depth up to approx. 1000m depth) monitoring projects require large […]
Performing a Measurement System Power Budget
Analyzing a measurement system power budget is a useful practice to help ensure that a proposed system design will meet the monitoring objectives and reliably deliver data. To aid with this, NexSens has developed a power budget tool which can quickly estimate the expected power performance of systems using the most common NexSens buoy platforms, […]
