Atlantic Tidal Section, BIO, P.O. Box 1006, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, CANADA B2Y-4A2 |
| Instrument Type | OTT float/well gauge until 1987 when bubbler gauge was installed which utilizes the tidal acquisition telemetry system (TATS)
New stilling well and sensor system installed in early fall of 2009. Insulated, heated 3 sensors: laser, bubbler and pressure |
| Original Data | Prior to 2009: analogue (OTT) digital (TATS)
After 2009: 1 minute averaged data, downloaded every 10 min |
| Observational periods | 01 November 1961 at 0330 - 01 January 2002 at 0230

Quality Assessment
The hourly residuals show significant fluctuations within the tidal frequency band. It is not sure whether this is due to the inability of the tidal analysis to resolve the complex nature of the tides or errors in the timing of the instrument. Only extreme fluctuations are listed below.
