Tide gauge | Valeport Tidemaster
For algal communities living under the ice of the Arctic Ocean, tides represent one of the three main sources of nutrients. They actively contribute to the seasonal expansion of primary production while affecting all living organisms in this fragile and unique habitat.
Increasingly challenged by climate change, the pelagic ecosystem of the Arctic Ocean is becoming an important site for primary production research. The work of scientists is not only to understand the dynamics of the ecosystems, but also to observe their response in the face of rapid change.
If tidal measurement is part of your current or future research, LAB-O-NORD presents the Valeport Tidemaster. This device allows you to measure the tidal variation by measuring the pressure of the water column height. Equipped with a pressure transducer and a 20 m cable, the tide gauge can be deployed in both fresh and salt water for up to one year.
