Calling all extreme ocean buffs and seafarers! The NOAA Heritage Program needs your help. Email us at [email protected] if you have information on this instrument!
This instrument recently surfaced in NOAA’s heritage collection. The tag attached to the device identifies it as a tsunami detector and alarm that was removed from the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey ShipOur research indicates that this is likely a type of U-tube manometer used with tide gauges. However, it is unclear who designed it or how and where USC&GS may have used it. There is also a handwritten note describing a bit about its operation.
Left: The lower section of the tsunameter, with label reading “USC&GS No. 8.”; Center: The rulers mounted next to the arms of the U-shaped tube.; Right: The tops of the U-shaped tubes, the left end has an adjustment dial and the right end is capped.Do you know about this instrument or ones like it? If so, we’d love to hear from you!
