THAI TSUNAMI WARNING SYSTEM

Platt Nera Co. Ltd. ordered two Poseidon Class tsunameters, related buoys, software and services to establish the new Thai Tsunami Warning System, marine segment. Collected data will be managed by NDWC (National Disaster Warning Center) in Bangkok. The Thai government decided to acquire Envirtech instrumentation after a long time evaluation of the state of art available technology. The marine segment will be installed in the Andaman Sea off shore Phuket and Surin Islands.

The Italian Network is almost completed. The last on will be moored in Venice next March. The network consists of 15 buoys moored around the Italian coasts on a seabed depth of about 100 meters. Buoys displacement is around 700 Kg. All buoys implement Barometric pressure, wind speed and direction gauges as well as directional waves sensors. Collected data are transmitted via WMO-GTS every 3 hours. Data are also available on the web every 30 minutes  and via  the Italian Broadcast Television RAI-1 Channel,  teletext service - Page 719.

THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL WORKSHOP OF THE DATA BUOY COOPERATION PANEL (DBCP) XXV

Envirtech presented to the most qualified international community the new buoy Envirtech MKI for sea waves measurement based on innovative MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology.
The buoy is equipped with meteorological sensors, CTD sensor, main radio link and satellite modem as back up communication system. The same buoy can integrate a surface acoustic modem to interface underwater modules (UM). The main UM developed by Envirtech is the POSEIDON system to monitor tsunami waves from 100mwd to 6000mwd. The presentation will be focused on the main innovative technological aspects of the buoy and the POSEIDON class tsunameters and will illustrate samples of real acquired data in Mediterranean sea and in Indian Ocean.
