MPPT
Solar charging via MPPT — maximum power point tracking. Custom-designed for the small batteries used in solar WII buoys, because nothing off-the-shelf fit.

GPS — position, time, and directional heading.
Kistler high-precision accelerometer for wave-motion measurement.
Sensors carried by WII5 buoys — power, navigation, motion, environment, imaging.
Inertial measurement unit — accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer.
Water and internal temperature sensing.
Wind speed and direction sensor.
Visual deployment and surface-imaging cameras.
