Whether it is not possible to use a vented reference to equalise the offset due to atmospheric pressure, the true water level is obtained from the APG by measuring and subtracting the atmospheric pressure at the sea surface from the APG measurement.</p> <p><b>Purpose:</b> </p> <p><b>Quality of data:</b> </p>
