Additional parametersMean Sea Level Pressure
Tide gauge benchmarks1. 3m mark on tide staff 2. One brass bolt at edge of wharf of tide gauge 3. A bolt on the gauge
Benchmark relationships3m mark tied to the National Primary Levelling Network and Fundamental benchmark TTP30. The 3m mark is 1.6788m above Admiralty Chart Datum. The bolt on the gauge is 3.0488m above Admiralty Chart Datum. (February 1987 onwards)
Auxiliary benchmarksOne bolt flush with wall located about 7.5m west of station.
Other relevant informationMunro tide gauge in a stone building, corner of Quay D, dismantled in early 1970s. Zero of recorder corresponds to a marked level situated seven feet below the level of the Quay. This datum point denotes the level of the mean low water at spring tides and was selected in 1929 after taking the average of the low water spring tide levels over a 48 month period. Local levellings are undertaken at intervals of 6 months.
