Eight months later, on December 20, 2013, the Levelogger was removed and the final data downloaded. The water level readings were compensated using hourly sea level barometric data obtained from a nearby weather station.<\/p>\n

A separate tidal gauge was used to simultaneously record the water level fluctuations. When the data from the tidal gauge and the Levelogger Edge were compared, the correlation was excellent. The extent of tidal fluctuations could be clearly seen from the documented data.<\/p>\n

This application demonstrates that the Levelogger Edge can be successfully used in extreme climate conditions \u2013 when the proper precautions and careful design considerations are followed.<\/p>\n
