Tide Gauge Records, Zhong Shan, Larsemann Hills, Australian Antarctic Territory
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.\nTidal records are retrieved from the gauge using an inductive loop lowered through a hole in the ice hence the gauge has been undisturbed since...
