Abstract

Survey apparatus (17) and methods for collecting sensor data in a body of water are disclosed. A buoy (4) comprises a first sensor means (11) and a transmitter (12) for transmitting collected sensor data to a receiver. A mooring (14) for the buoy, has a second sensor means (13). An umbilical (2) is used for connecting the buoy to the mooring, and for receiving collected sensor data from the second sensor. The survey apparatus (17) is adapted to collecting environmental data in harsh environmental conditions, the purpose built buoy (4) designed for operation in extreme wave and tidal flow conditions. The system (7) for providing power is contained within the buoy (4) to provide continuous power to on board sensors (11) and telemetry (12) to enable operation for extended periods of time without intervention. A radio transmitter (12) is provided to allow communication to a system located onshore. The umbilical (2) comprises a structural member and electrical cabling, wherein the structural member forms the tether (2) connecting the buoy (4) to the mooring (14) and the cabling (16) provides communication and power to bottom mounted sensors (13). A mooring (14) is provided that is installed on the seabed that keeps station for the system in the extreme conditions.
