Mediterranean tide stations (for NIOF/NRIAG)
SpaceEcho has deployed multiple tide and current monitoring stations across the Mediterranean Sea for government-affiliated scientific institutions, including Egypt's National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (NIOF) and National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG). These stations feature a unique dual-wall seawater intake pipe design that minimizes wave-induced fluctuations for precise measurements, coupled with a symmetrical double-conical orifice connected to parallel end plates at the seawater inlet. This innovative configuration eliminates measurement errors caused by surface waves, vessel wakes, ocean currents, marine biofouling (algae/microorganisms), and water density variations. The precision engineering maintains ideal flow conditions within the tide measurement pipes for superior accuracy.
Each station incorporates three synchronized sea-level measurement technologies:
1. Acoustic sensors measuring wave height via ultrasonic pulses.
2. Radar sensors unaffected by temperature or humidity.
3. Submersible pressure sensors.
At strategic coastal locations, our Multi-Task Pro stations integrate tidal monitoring with meteorological sensors (anemometer, pyranometer, thermo-hygrometer, and barometer) into a single unit, delivering comprehensive coastal and weather data. This integrated system demonstrates SpaceEcho's engineering excellence in providing reliable marine monitoring solutions for diverse applications.
