Melville Bay Nhulunbuy Export Wharf Tide Guage

To assist with navigation planning, a tide gauge was re-established using the existing enclosure and well casing on the Export Wharf in Gove Harbour, at the site of the previous tide gauge discontinued by the NT Government in 2007. The tide gauge consists of a float activated absolute shaft encoder linked to a digital data logger and a nextG modem. The tide gauge logs water level (above lowest astronomical tide) at 10 minute intervals and transmits in near real-time to AIMS where it is stored, backed up and made available for display and download.

为辅助航海规划工作，科研人员在戈夫港（Gove Harbour）出口码头的原潮位站旧址处，依托2007年被北领地政府（NT Government）停用的既有围护结构与井套管，重新架设了一套潮位计。该潮位计搭载浮子驱动式绝对轴编码器，连接至数字数据记录仪与nextG调制解调器。该潮位计以10分钟为间隔记录水位（以最低天文潮为基准面），并以近乎实时的方式将数据传输至澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（Australian Institute of Marine Science，AIMS），在该处完成数据存储、备份，并对外开放展示与下载服务。
