Tide gauge benchmarksCT/1: triangular stamp (steel pin) with '1' at centre of concrete emplacement; located across street from tide house in parking area of courtyard of govt house near flagpole. Fixed within island wide survey.
Auxiliary benchmarksUH-1: SS pin in concrete emplaced about 10ft W of tide staff at edge of quay, about 2ft from water on cement slab, which seems to be sinking. UH-2: 1 inch SS disc, no stamp, emplaced in concrete about 10ft E of tide staff on finger pier. Not locatable in Feb. 1992 - destroyed. UH-4: 1 inch square SS on top of pin set in white epoxy in cement, located near the closest corner of bldg to right, facing away from sea.
Other relevant informationBackup gauges on site: 1) Leupold Stevens ADR (December 1984-) 2) Handar encoder ADR (December 1984-) Daily values calculated using 119-point convolution filter (Bloomfield, 1976) centred on noon applied to the hourly data with respective periods of the 95, 50 and 5% amplitude points at 124.0, 60.2 and 40.2 hours.
