| Following an international competition, NTU has selected Axys' Triaxys directional wave sensor to measure the waves generated by typhoons approaching the coast of Taiwan. The Triaxys sensor will be integrated onto NTU's modified Atlas (Autonomous Temperature Line Acquisition System) metocean buoy. |
Atlas is a 2.3m diameter toroid fabricated with fiberglass over a foam core. Axys' proprietary Triaxys wave sensor will deliver the highly accurate directional wave data required for scientific research and weather forecasting.
Axys' exclusive representative in Taiwan, Sino Instruments Co. Ltd. facilitated the purchase and will also assist NTU with the integration of the sensor. Terms of the contract are confidential.
National Taiwan University is the most prestigious institution of higher education in Taiwan. NTU sets its objective for development in three major fields: humanities and social sciences, basic sciences and applied sciences. Read more about: waves Education Supplier: AXYS Technologies Inc.

Hydrographic Survey for Riverbed Erosion |
U.S. Geological Survey were out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyzes the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed.
