Direct measurement of the distance to the water surface! Direct observation of wave surface fluctuations, including tidal variations.
The "WE-3002 type" is an airborne launch wave height and tide gauge installed in ports, coastal areas, and on offshore work vessels, designed to measure and monitor sea conditions (wave height, tide level) over long periods. It emits microwaves towards the water surface and detects the frequency difference of the microwaves reflected and returned from the water surface to measure wave height (FMCW method). Additionally, the detection unit measures the wave surface without coming into contact with seawater (non-contact measurement), eliminating concerns about the attachment of marine organisms, and daily maintenance work is unnecessary. 【Features】 - Directly measures the distance to the water surface, allowing for direct observation of wave surface fluctuations, including tide level changes. - Not affected by temperature, atmospheric pressure, or wind, eliminating the need for temperature (sound speed) correction. - Specially designed and manufactured to be capable of measurement during whitecap formation and adverse weather conditions (dense fog, heavy rain). - Installation can be easily performed offshore (in the air) without the need for underwater work by divers. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
For over 50 years, we have been involved in the development and manufacturing of hydrological, water quality, and oceanographic observation instruments that are committed to field specifications in order to understand water as it is. The DENTAN Group has served as a bridge between people and nature, watching over outdoor water environments. During this time, people have transformed water, which was once abundant and used metaphorically in Japan as if it were flowing freely, into a limited resource. They have realized that this has placed excessive burdens not only on themselves but on all living beings, that is, the natural environment. Now, there is a significant shift in awareness regarding the importance of water resources. To create an environment where people can appreciate nature, the DENTAN Group will continue to do our utmost, albeit with limited power.
