Abstract: A sensor device that makes it possible to simultaneously measure a plurality of portions in a pipe while suppressing optical loss even when the diameter of the pipe is relatively small. The sensor device includes an optical fiber in which a plurality of FBG sensors are formed and a detection unit that causes light to be incident on the optical fiber and detects reflected light from at least one of the plurality of FBG sensors. The portion of the optical fiber in which the plurality of FBG sensors are formed is wound around a pipe so as to form a winding angle which is a perpendicular or acute angle with an axis of the pipe in a side view of the pipe viewed from the portion of the optical fiber in which the FBG sensors are formed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a GPS device for measuring the wave height and current direction and speed, which is capable of accurately measuring the wave height (height of the waves) and current direction and speed (tidal current) in any point on the sea, ocean, lake, or marsh, and to a system using such a device. The GPS receiver 2 of the GPS device 1 for measuring the wave height and current direction and speed processes the GPS signals received with the GPS antenna 3 and measures the three-dimensional position of antenna 3. The three-dimensional position data are recorded by the data recording unit 4 connected to the GPS receiver 2. When the floating body 5 having those devices 2-4 installed thereon floats on the sea or ocean, it moves together with the waves and tidal current in the present location.
