Future work and recommendations

• The Cape Roberts Tide Gauge should be visited in October prior to the annual survey calibration to recover stored data and determine that the installation is continuing to function.
• Repaired equipment should be reinstalled in the 2004-05 season and the installation checked.
• Annual survey calibration should be carried out during a spring tide period preferably in November or early December when access to the near shore fast sea ice is still possible.
• The submarine transducer levelling is still required. The anchor ice problem could be initially assessed with video camera but if present in thick quantities that may not be possible to clear with a mini hot water drill. Levelling may be postponed until January when the anchor ice is more likely to have been reduced in the late summer. This can be carried out independently of the annual GPS survey calibration.
