Tides were measured using a portable pressure transducer secured to fast ice at the mouth of Pagodroma Gorge with the transducer about 4 metres below low water line. A 30 day record was obtained. Documentation dated 2001-03-07 Beaver Lake and the Stillwell Hills In Dec 1996 - Jan 1997 a temporary pressure type tide gauge was deployed at Beaver Lake and the Stillwell Hills in open water. Timed water level measurements were made over this period. From these data a value for MSL was found for Beaver Lake and the Stillwell Hills.

Tide gauge data collected from pressure tide gauge at Hurd Point, Macquarie Island. Data were collected between 1996-03-07 and 1996-10-27. A temporary tide gauge was installed at Hurd Point as it was suspected that there was a 6 minute wave around the island. The installation was made to determine whether this is correct.

Tide gauge data collected from two platypus gauges (TG040 and TG041 - barometric) at Commonwealth Bay. Data were collected between 2007-11-27 and 2010-02-16. The gauge was a bottom mounted pressure sensor with a self-contained logger. Sea temperature and barometric pressure were also recorded. Further information is also available from the National Tidal Centre at the Bureau of Meteorology.

Tides were measured using a portable pressure transducer secured just below low water line. A 30 day record was obtained. Numerous manual water level measurements were made to connect the tide gauge to the local benchmark. From these observations a local mean sea level was obtained. Documentation dated 2001-03-07 Beaver Lake and the Stillwell Hills In Dec 1996 - Jan 1997 a temporary pressure type tide gauge was deployed at Beaver Lake and the Stillwell Hills in open water. Timed water level measurements were made over this period. From these data a value for MSL was found for Beaver Lake and the Stillwell Hills.

Tides are measured using a submerged pressure type gauge secured in a heavy concrete mooring in Nella Fjord in the Larsemann Hills near Zhong Shan station. Tidal records are retrieved from the gauge using an inductive loop lowered through a hole in the ice hence the gauge has been undisturbed since it was deployed. Documentation dated 2001-06-12 Zhong Shan Submerged Tide Gauge The gauge used at Zhong Shan was designed in 1991/2 by Platypus Engineering, Hobart, Tasmania. It was intended to be submerged in about 7 metres of water in a purpose made concrete mooring in the shape of a truncated pyramid. The mooring for the Zhong Shan gauge was cast in concrete at Davis and sling loaded by helicopter to Nella Fjord in the Larsemann Hills and deployed through a hole in the ice. The gauge measures pressure using a Paroscientific Digiquartz Pressure Transducer with a full scale pressure of 30 psi absolute. The accuracy of the transducer is 1 in 10,000 of full scale over the calibrated temperature range. The overall accuracy of the system is better than +/- 3 mm for a known water density. Data is retrieved from the gauges by lowering a coil assembly on the end of a cable over a projecting knob on the top of the gauge and by use of an interface unit, a serial connection can be established to the gauge. Time setting and data retrieval can be then achieved. Data has been retrieved from this gauge once since deployment. The records are complete since deployment. Conversion of raw data to tidal records is done as detailed in document: Details of Conversion of Raw Data. Levelling One attempts has been made at establishing an absolute height for this gauge using timed water level measurements. Documentation dated 2008-10-17 Zhong Shan. The battery in the submerged gauge at Zhong Shan has probably been exhausted. The gauge will be removed at an opportune time. The gauge has not recently been download. There will still be some records available.
