| Abstract: | This manual is concerned primarily with techniques for the measurement of what are called
relative sea level changes which means changes relative to the level of the land upon which the
measuring instrument (the tide gauge) is located. The subject of changes in the level of land itself is
reviewed later in this document but is given more detailed presentation in other reports to which we
refer. The manual also concerns itself primarily with the part of the frequency spectrum of sea level
change from minutes through to centuries by means of in situ devices at the coast (tide gauges). Such
changes are sometimes called still water level changes, being changes over a period long enough to
average over wind waves. The devices employed to make these measurements are usually called tide
gauges, although sea level recorders might be a more appropriate term. In this manual we have kept
the older, conventional term. |
