404 — Fancy meeting you here!
Don't panic, we'll get through this together. Let's explore our options here.
WAVY-NOS is a radically new approach to in situ monitoring of littoral areas. Instead of following pre-set trajectories, multiple surface drifters are deployed simultaneously for taking observations with different sensing payloads. Multiple deployments of the drifters, either simultaneous or sequential, will compensate for the uncertainty in drifter trajectories. All data will be stored onboard, but positions and alarms will be sent at a low rate to a Mission Centre via GSM.
WAVY-NOS drifters will be available
with different payload sensors:

WAVY-NOS project is funded by the EEA Grants, under the Blue Growth Innovation and SMEs (Blue Growth) program operated by the Portuguese Directorate-General for Maritime Policy of the Ministry of the Sea (DGPM).
Through the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA), Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway are partners in the internal market, with the Member States of the European Union. As a way of promoting a continuous and balanced strengthening of economic and trade relations, the parties to the EEA Agreement have established a multi-year Financial Mechanism known as EEA Grants.
The EEA Grants aim to reduce social and economic disparities in Europe and strengthen bilateral relations between these three countries and the beneficiary countries. For the period 2014-2021, a total contribution of 2.8 billion euros was agreed for 15 beneficiary countries. Portugal will benefit from a budget of 102.7 million euros.
