Radar water level gauge deployed at a tidal‑level monitoring site in Guangdong, providing intelligent support for coastal tide forecasting and reporting!
2026-06-29
To accurately monitor coastal tidal dynamics and enhance the routine nearshore tide‑level monitoring network, multiple locations across Guangdong Province have deployed radar‑based water level gauges as part of an online tide‑level monitoring program. The complete system is powered by solar energy, features a split‑type wall‑mounted data terminal, and employs a 4G wireless transmission architecture, making it well suited to the complex outdoor conditions of coastal areas characterized by high salt‑mist exposure and persistent humidity.
This radar-based water level gauge employs a non-contact measurement mode, unaffected by sea‑water spray, floating debris, or sediment buildup. It enables continuous, round‑the‑clock acquisition of real-time tide‑level data with stable, high‑precision measurements, significantly mitigating the drawbacks of conventional float‑type devices—such as jamming and frequent maintenance. The system features an independent solar‑power supply, paired with energy‑storage batteries for self‑sufficiency, eliminating the need to lay grid‑connected power lines. Its deployment in remote field locations is straightforward, ensuring long‑term, energy‑efficient operation while perfectly meeting the needs of offshore, hard‑to‑reach monitoring sites.
The modular, wall‑mounted data acquisition terminal features a streamlined design that simplifies on-site installation and mounting. Its intuitive human–machine interface allows users to view real-time water level parameters directly at the site. Equipped with a built-in 4G communication module, it automatically uploads monitoring data to the management platform, enabling operators to remotely track water level fluctuations and access historical data statistics without leaving their desks, while also receiving timely alerts for abnormal water levels.
The comprehensive monitoring system boasts high reliability and low operational costs, effectively addressing gaps in coastal tide‑level monitoring. It provides continuous, dependable data to support research on tidal patterns, coastal flood and storm‑surge prevention, the operation and maintenance of coastal engineering projects, and emergency early warning for storm surges, thereby advancing the digitalization and intelligent upgrading of hydrological monitoring along Guangdong’s coastline.
