The Stream Gauge and Storm Surge Gauge in the 3D-PAWS system utilizes the MaxBotix MB7363 or MB7364 HRXL-MaxSonar-WRLS ultrasonic sensor to provide reliable, high-resolution water level measurements. These rugged, weather-resistant sensors are designed for outdoor environmental monitoring, featuring millimeter-level resolution, a long detection range (up to 10 meters for MB7363 and 5 meters for MB7364), and robust noise rejection algorithms. Their narrow beam pattern and real-time calibration ensure accurate distance readings even in challenging conditions, making them well suited for monitoring stream heights and storm surges in dynamic weather environments. Please use the extended horn for the Storm Surge Gauge.
