Science - Geography / tsunamis
English term or phrase: gauge
Lags in the time of first arrivals between
consecutive tide stations were also calculated considering the tsunami wave speed along the
imaginary line connecting gauges in the RDP. Distances between consecutive gauges from
SB to BR (Fig. 2) are 50 km (SB – OT), 80 km (OT – LP), 60 km (LP – BA) and 35 km (BA –
BR). Mean depth through each consecutive pair of stations were computed from nautical
charts SHN (1999a; b).

Tide gauges son mareógrafos, pero cuando gauge aparece solo también se refiere al mismo término?

dispositivo de medición
Explanation:
Ese es el significado general.
Dependiendo de la magnitud medida se puede afinar más. Si antes ha citado un aparato concreto (tide gauge), se refiere al mismo.
