Tide gauge location

The equipment is housed in a heated instrument cabinet within the harbour tide gauge building, with the full-tide and mid-tide pressure points being mounted on steelwork attached to the pier wall. All three pressure lines are monitored by the POL data logger.

The tide gauge is levelled to the tide gauge bench mark supported by States of Jersey Survey auxiliary marks.
