Wave and tide parameters are measured by an Etrometa Step Gauge which was installed on 19 April 2007, replacing both the Valeport 730D pressure transducer installed in August 2003 and the Ohmex tide gauge.  The instrument is mounted on their Starting Platform, by kind permission of the Royal Lymington Yacht Club.

11/04/2013 Data string from the platform to the receiver station appears to be corrupted. A service will shortly be carried out.
18/01/2013 Telemetry issues between the platform and shore station due to heavy snow fall.
23/10/2012 Scheduled service and met sensors replaced
27/02/2012 Scheduled service
30/07/2010 Etrometa service.
15/01/2010 Scheduled service including additional determination of vertical offset between the top of the step gauge and meteorological sensors.
09/10/2009 System down again due to low battery voltage. A new solar cell and regulator were installed.
07/09/2009 The solar panels had failed and therefore the battery was not being charged.  The batteries have been replaced and the solar panels are being checked for faults.
05/09/2009 The telemetry appears to be faulty and is being investigated.
02/06/2009 Scheduled Service
23/01/2009 There is a problem with transferring the data from the shore station to the website, which is being investigated.  The instrument is still measuring data which is being stored and will be back-loaded to the website once the communication is fixed.
16/01/2008 The faulty barometer and electronics unit have been replaced.
20/06/2005 The instrument logger has been re-deployed.
01/06/2005 The instrument logger has been removed for repair.
19/02/2005 Intermittently no data are being received from the starting platform. The problem is being investigated.
11/11/2004 The wind speed sensor seems to be slightly under-reporting at high wind speeds. Plans are now underway to replace all the meteorological instruments
04/03/2004 The pressure transducer is being serviced.
02/12/2004 The wave recorder is being serviced.
