Brief description
Tide gauge data collected from pressure tide gauge at Hurd Point, Macquarie Island. Data were collected between 1996-03-07 and 1996-10-27. A temporary tide gauge was installed at Hurd Point as it was suspected that there was a 6 minute wave around the island. The installation was made to determine whether this is correct. Photo Oblique aerial photos showing location of tide gauge, bench mark AUS188 and Hurd Point trig and photo mof GPS set up. Gravity meter set up adjacent tide gauge Temporary Bench Mark Survey Scans of survey field notes showing location of tide gauge in relation to Hurd Point huts, AUS188 and old Auroral Camera stand, vertical differences between AUS188, tide gauge temporary mark and tide gauge housing.Lineage
