In the marine environment the waves generated by the flow of the wind or by natural phenomena such as earthquakes inside the oceans need to be monitored and known before it takes effect. The sea waves are a complex phenomenon and their behavior is quite difficult to predict. The first step is to take accurate and low cost measurements of the sea surface oscillations. In this paper we model and analyze MEMS capacitive accelerometers using Comsol Multiphysics simulation software for monitoring low amplitude sea waves.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
