Statement: Location: Port Arthur, Tasmania 43 deg 08 min 50 secs South, 147 deg 51 min 10 sec East Start time: 04:13:51 GMT on 24/6/1999 End time: 04:31:58 GMT on 20/9/2002 Data was recorded using an Aquatrak 4100 acoustic tide gauge mounted in a stilling well with a Vitel WLS2 logger. The data consists of averages taken over three minutes, recorded every six minutes. Data includes the time (as seconds from midnight on 1/1/1999) and sea level (measured downwards from the tide gauge zero). A small correction has been applied to allow for clock drift. There is a small amount (around 0.03%) of missing data. Where data is missing, those records are also missing; i.e. there are no "missing data" flags. The tide gauge zero is 3299.6 mm ABOVE AHD (Tasmania). For information on other local survey marks, see: Watson, C.S., 1999. A Contribution to Absolute Sea Level in Tasmania, B. Surv.
