- The Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART) real-time tsunami buoy system is comprised of two parts -- the Bottom Pressure Recorder (BPR) and the accompanying surface buoy with its related electronics. The BPR resides on the ocean bottom and monitors water pressure with a resolution of approximately 1 mm seawater. Samples integrated over a 15-second time window are recorded internally by the BPR and provide the base sampling interval for all real-time transmissions. Data are transmitted from the BPR to the surface buoy via an acoustic modem which in turn transmits the data to ground systems via Iridium satellites.
