Excerpt from Results of Spirit Leveling in Texas, 1896 to 1910, InclusiveDatum.-all United States Geological Survey elevations are re ferred to mean sea level, which is the level that the sea would assume if the in¿uence of winds and tides were eliminated. This level is not the elevation determined from the mean of the highest and the low est tides, nor is it the half sum of the mean of all the high tides and the mean of all the low tides, which is called the half-tide level. Mean sea level is the average height of the water, all stages of the tide being considered. It is determined from observations made by means of tidal gages placed at stations where local conditions, such as long, narrow bays, rivers, and like features will not affect the height of the water. To obtain even approximately correct results, these observations must extend over at least one lunar month, and if accuracy is desired they must extend over several years. At ocean stations the half-tide level and mean sea level usually differ but little. It is assumed that there is no difference between the mean sea level as determined from observations in the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Pacific Ocean.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
