TIDE-GAUGE INSTALLATION ON SHORE-ICE, EMPLOYING (AUXILIARY) WATER-LEVEL GAUGE,

Abstract

In the suggested scheme, a 'water-level gauge' is mounted on the metal tube which is to be frozen into the ice. The slightest change in the immersion-depth of the ice will cause a change in the level of the liquid in the water-level gauge, which will give warning that the zero point of the tide-gauge has been displaced and will show the amount of this displacement. This simple device, easy to construct under polar station conditions, makes it possible to carry out lengthy series of observations on the fluctuation of sea-level with the least expenditure of labor and material.
