Kronstadt tide gauge
Kronstadt tide gauge, Tide gauge in Kronstadt, Russia
The Kronstadt tide gauge, mounted on the abutment of the Blue Bridge over the Bypass Canal, measures water levels using a porcelain ruler with markings.
In 1840, hydrographer Mikhail Reineke established the gauge after conducting fifteen years of sea level research in the Gulf of Finland waters.
The zero mark of the Kronstadt tide gauge serves as the fundamental elevation point for geodetic measurements across the entire Russian Federation territory.
Four times daily, measurement specialists record water levels manually from the paper recorder, maintaining this procedure despite the system's current automation capabilities.
The reference mark for the tide gauge zero point appears on the monument to Peter Pakhtusov, specifically in the horizontal line of letter P in the word Polza.
