Sutron has been building the nation’s tide stations since 1988 when we built noaa’s next Generation Water Level Measurement System (nGWLMS) - over 300 stations provided for the Great Lakes, coastal uSa, & worldwide.
Currently noaa & Sutron are replacing nGWLMS with “Generation iii” tide Stations, based on Sutrons Xpert Datalogger family. the Sutron-designed G3 packages are available for:
Primary Tide Gages, with or without all weather instrumentation
Redundant (backup) Tide Gages
Hydrographic Stations
these standard, noaa/noS-compliant packages bring advanced communications & data handling capabilities to tidal monitoring. available communications include:
High Data Rate GOES Satellite
IP Modems
Irridium Global Satellite Phone (long & short-burst modes)
Spread Spectrum Radio
All Available Types of Land-Line & Cellular Telephones
Hard-Wire & Fiber-Optic
Ethernet on LAN or WAN
G3 GaGe SenSor SuPPort
All Standard Water Level & Meteorologic Sensors
Aquatrak Absolute Liquid Level Sensor, preferred by NOAA/NOS
Miros Air Gap Sensor (used in vessel traffic monitoring applications for ports & harbors)
Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers, ie, Teledyne-RDI Workhorse
TIDAL MONITORINGThe US National Ocean Service Trusts Sutron to Build Their Tide Gages. So Should You.
Let Sutron design the tide station that’s right for you.
Tide stations range from a low-end datalogger & pressure transducer to a 100% NOAA-compliant station, surveyed to exacting standards & installed to last 50 years. Stations can measure water level, currents, & water quality. Main stations connected to high-bandwidth communications (IP modems, Ethernet) also support cameras.
Sutron now offers turn-key tide Gages & Services including: Site Investigation Installation Design & Drawings
Station Installation & Training Civil Works Design & Installation
Tide Station Integration (including communications & local base station)
Surveying Arrangements (to relate measured water levels to a known datum per NOS standard procedures)

COMMUNICATIONSSutron’s Data Loggers Work with EVERY Major Communications Technology.
Our Xpert Logger Series Was Specifically Designed to Handle Many Communication Paths - Simultaneously!
NOAA/NESDIS has given Sutron a contract to develop an add-on module to bring 2-way communications to GOES transmissions, currently 1-way only (from field to receive site). Testing begins in 2009 and it is expected to be operational in 2010.
TECHNOLOGIESGOES SATELLITE
More customers world-wide use Sutron SatLink GOES Transmitters than any other brand. The GOES System (US GOES, MTSAT, METEOSAT) is the most reliable method to obtain environmental data. And, it’s also the most cost-effective! Well-maintained GOES Systems routinely deliver 99% of collected data in near real-time.
GEOSTATIONARY WEATHER SATELLITES WORLDWIDE
EUMETSAT/INSAT/GMS/FY transmit data around the world. EUMETSAT supports Europe/Africa; INSAT - India; FY - China; & GMS - Japan/Austra-lia & Islands of the Pacific. Sutron’s Satlink is certified to operate on all weather satellites globally.
LOS RADIO (LINE-OF-SITE) IRIDIUM SATELLITE
CELL CSD/PSTN CELL GPRS/CDMA

WIFI & WEB CAM In areas with Wi-Fi networks, you can have
wireless Internet access to remote field stations over the web. Inexpensive Wi-Fi to Serial or Ethernet devices allow direct connection of the sensor/data recorder.
BLUETOOTH Bluetooth uses a “dongle” connected to a Sutron product for short-range
wireless access to a station. With the dongle in place, the user can operate the station from a nearby truck, gage house, etc.
