Tide gauge benchmark
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009671
A stable, permanent reference point on land, typically a precisely surveyed monument, to which the measurements from a nearby tide gauge are referenced. This benchmark allows for the long-term monitoring of sea level changes relative to the land. It provides a fixed vertical datum for tidal observations.
