ASH-432-A Wave Buoy
The ASH-432-A Wave Buoy is a long-endurance drifting buoy engineered for offshore and open-ocean observation. Designed to travel naturally with ocean currents, it continuously records and transmits positional and environmental information, enabling researchers to monitor large-scale marine processes over extended periods.
Unlike conventional moored buoys that remain fixed at a single location, the Wave Buoy provides dynamic spatial observations by moving with the surrounding water mass. This makes it an ideal platform for studying ocean circulation, current transport, climate variability, and marine environmental change across vast ocean regions.
Built with a rugged marine-grade floating body and a modular electronics architecture, the ASH-432-A supports multiple communication systems and expandable scientific sensors, allowing users to configure the platform for a wide range of research and monitoring applications.
Key Features
Large-Scale Ocean Drift Observation
The Wave Buoy moves naturally with surface currents, allowing researchers to investigate ocean circulation patterns, water mass transport, and long-distance drift behavior. This passive observation method provides highly representative data without influencing the surrounding marine environment.
Autonomous Long-Endurance Deployment
Equipped with a low-power control system, high-capacity LiFePO₄ battery, and integrated solar charging, the platform is capable of operating autonomously for extended offshore observation campaigns while minimizing maintenance requirements.
AsenHe provides drifting buoy solutions for offshore and open-ocean observation.
