Marine buoys, as an emerging modern marine monitoring technology, are gradually being valued and utilized by various marine countries. Compared with other monitoring methods, marine buoys can automatically, continuously, and synchronously monitor the marine environment under harsh marine environmental conditions and within the service life of buoys.
Three Development Trends of Marine Buoy Technology
1. The shape of ocean buoys tends to be miniaturized.
With the increasing application of ocean buoys, the shortcomings of large and medium-sized buoys in deployment, use, and maintenance are becoming increasingly apparent. The trend towards miniaturized buoys is to strengthen the research and development of low power consumption and small components.
2. Ocean buoy communication tends to be satellite based.
The development of buoy communication systems is closely related to the development of electronic technology. The rapid development of remote sensing, telemetry, and remote control technology has promoted the technological revolution of buoy communication. The application of satellite communication in ocean buoys has expanded the communication distance of buoys and improved the reliability of data transmission.
3. The development of specialized ocean buoy technology is rapid.
With the practicality of ocean buoys, universal buoys are still unable to meet the special requirements of users. In recent years, some specialized buoys designed for special purposes have emerged, such as ocean thermal buoys, ocean current observation buoys, ocean hydrological and meteorological buoys, etc., which are used for different scientific research purposes.
The above is an introduction to the development trend of ocean buoy technology for your reference.
