Abstract :
This paper describes a prototype tide gauge capsule intended for deep sea use. Details are given on the mechanical and electronic design, the types of sensors used, and method of laying and retrieving the capsule. The gauge has been deployed twice in the past year and the results obtained on these occasions are discussed.
