Accel Buoy
Sea surface roughness, and wave / swell activity are critical for understanding air-sea flux, degradation of buoys on the ocean surface during drift, and macroalgae growth. We knew a wave, trajectory, and sea surface temperature buoy would be critical to future intervention modeling and verification, and developed a small, dematerialized buoy with a custom sensor fusion algorithm and shared system architecture with our other buoys.
Accel buoy development was nearing completion and prototypes were undergoing ocean testing when the company shut down in June of 2024.
