“…2. Basically, the tide measurement apparatus consists of acoustic (primary) and pressure (secondary) water-level sensors as described by Mero and Stoney (1988) and Gill et al (1995). The primary sensor is capable of sampling at rates of up to four Hertz.…”

“…Analysis of the sea level data from the verification site, even after calibration for instrument drift, led to the discovery of inconsistencies between the different sea level datasets. This problem is illustrated in Figure 6, which displays the differences between the different tide gauge sea level measurements at the time of the PlatJin'm Harvest Verification Experiment Gill, 1995).…”

Overview of the TOPEX/Poseidon Platform Harvest verification experiment

1995

An overview is given of the m situ measurement system installed on Texaco's Platform Harvest for verification of the sea level measurement from the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite. The prelaunch error budget suggested that the total root mean square (RMS) error due to measurements made at this verification site would be less than 4 cm. The actual error budget for the verification site is within these original specifications. However, evaluation of the sea level data from three measurement systems at the platform has resulted in unexpectedly large differences between the systems. Comparison of the sea level measurements from the different tide gauge systems has led to a better understanding of the problems of measuring sea level in relatively deep ocean. As of May 1994, the Platform Harvest verification site has successfully supported 60 TOPEX/Poseidon overflights.
