一种低成本、轻质的桅杆浮标被开发出来用于测量高频波浪。该浮标重22公斤，在其存储配置中长4.3米。布放后，浮标延伸至10m长度。浮力由一个直径29厘米的聚苯乙烯泡沫浮子提供，浮子附着在水线以下2.4米的浮标上。升沉稳定性由一个直径76厘米的阻尼板提供，该阻尼板位于水线以下约9米。一个3米长的金属线测浪仪用来测量海浪。波浪计电子设备和调频遥测系统位于浮标的顶部。浮标构造简单，使用现成的硬件，并且需要很少的，易于加工的组件。浮标足够小，可以从8米高的开放式工作船或小型直升机上部署。一个更大版本的浮标可以在更高的海况下运行。
A low-cost, lightweight spar buoy has been developed to measure high frequency waves. The buoy weighs 2 2 Kg and is 4.3 m long in its stored configuration. After deployment, the buoy extends to a length of 10 m. Buoyancy is provided by a 29-cm diameter Styrofoam float attached to the buoy 2.4 m below the waterline. Heave stability is provided by a 76-cm diameter damper plate, approximately 9 m below the waterline. A 3 m wire wave gauge is used to measure ocean waves. The wave gauge electronics and FM telemetry system are located at the top of the buoy. The buoy is simple to construct, uses off-the-shelf hardware, and requires very few, easily machined components. The buoy is small enough to be deployed from a 8 m, open work-boat or from a small helicopter. A larger version of the buoy could be built to operate in higher sea states.
