This may look like an innocuous hut at the end of a pier, but it houses part of a system providing accurate water level data critical for many coastal activities, from navigation and engineering to restoration and preservation! https://lnkd.in/eGmKHjdM #OceanMonthNOAA
I bet many of the other NWLON stations are jealous of this one 🤣 🌉
That tidal station is the oldest continually operating station in the country - well over 160 years. Very cool place to visit. There is a small historical exhibit about it at the National Park Service museum located in the Kimpton Hotel at Fisherman’s Wharf too.
Very informative

2moWhat a great and unknown tide station! Here's a sketch I did of the same place while I was working with NOAA on a book about the science of tides. Thank you for the memories.
