22nd December 2020
The wave buoy is deployed in Brandon Bay on the 1, December 2020
A research project led by coastal and ocean scientists in NUI Galway and the Marine Institute involves the deployment of a combination of smart buoys and time-lapse imaging to measure storm impacts and support the development of coastal flood and erosion defences.
The project, Brandon Bay on the Dingle Peninsula, Co Kerry, involves:
A new waverider buoy provided by Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland to measure wave height, wave direction, wave period, surface currents, and water temperature as well as storm impact
