Water Level Measurement from a Floating Ice Cover.

Water level data suitable for tidal analysis may be obtained by the use of mechanical water level recorders mounted on freely floating ice covers providing that auxiliary measurements are made to correct for ice loading from snow accumulation and for the increase in freeboard due to ice growth. This...

Description
Summary:Water level data suitable for tidal analysis may be obtained by the use of mechanical water level recorders mounted on freely floating ice covers providing that auxiliary measurements are made to correct for ice loading from snow accumulation and for the increase in freeboard due to ice growth. This paper describes the selection of suitable sites, techniques for installing recorders and auxiliary measurements. (Author)
