Vaisala HydroMet™ Tide Stations are a perfect cornerstone for users wishing to monitor maritime conditions and coastal weather. Based on your needs, tide gauge stations can be sited in ports and along coasts, on islands or lighthouses. Solar and wind-powered stations for remote stand-alone siting are available. Tide stations can be completed to advanced coastal meteorological stations. They can easily be linked to national or ocean-wide meteorological and oceanographical monitoring networks, capable of detecting and warning phenomena of public interest - like violent storms, storm surges and tsunami waves. Besides, real-time data can be displayed for example at the harbor's manager's office.
