A 30-day record of water level measurements from a temporary pressure transducer deployed at Beaver Lake and the Stillwell Hills in the Australian Antarctic Territory. The data was collected by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AU_AADC) between December 1996 and January 1997. From these measurements, a value for Mean Sea Level (MSL) was derived for the location.
Use Cases
- Calculate local Mean Sea Level (MSL) based on the timed water level measurements.
- Analyze short-term tidal patterns in the Antarctic region based on the 30-day record.
- Validate or calibrate regional oceanographic models using the in-situ tide gauge data.
- Study the interaction between fast ice and sea level using measurements from a transducer secured to ice.
Strengths
- Data collection is documented with a specific deployment period (Dec 1996 - Jan 1997).
- Measurements were taken with a transducer secured at a known depth (about 4 metres below low water line).
- A derived data product (MSL value) is mentioned as an outcome.
Limitations
- Row count and column definitions are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
