Tide Gauge Records, Mawson, Australian Antarctic Territory
Tides are measured using a submerged pressure type gauge secured in a heavy concrete mooring in Horseshoe Harbour at Mawson.\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 it was deployed.\n \nDocument...
