Metres above the Adriatic, Elevation reference point at Port of Trieste, Italy
The elevation measurement system uses the average water level of the Adriatic Sea at the Sartorio mole in Trieste as its zero reference point.
The gauging station in Trieste Port was established in 1875 by the military geographical institute of the Austro-Hungarian Army as the monarchy's reference point.
Eight European countries including Austria, Croatia, and Slovenia incorporate this measurement system into their geographical education and professional practices.
The system enables precise elevation calculations for construction projects, navigation, and land surveys across multiple countries bordering the Adriatic Sea.
Different regions show specific height variations, with Germany measuring +25 to +34 centimeters higher compared to Austrian referenced measurements using this system.
