Dumont d’Urville tide gauge (-66° 39.7′ South, 140° 00.6′ East) is situated near the french scientific base of Dumont d’Urville in Antarctica. It was installed in 1997.
It contains a PM36S MarArgos automatic tide gauge station which activates, every 20 mn, measurements of:
- atmospheric pressure with a Vaisala sensor;
- bottom pressure, sea water temperature and conductivity with an Aanderaa WLR7 sensor.Measurements are real time transmitted, via Argos system, to LEGOS.
