How to read the Wurzburg gauge
A gauge reading is a height at this one point, not a depth of water under a ship. Every reference mark below belongs to Wurzburg alone, so a number here cannot be compared with a number from another gauge.
- GlW, the low-water navigation reference: not available. The level the maintained fairway depth on this stretch is quoted against.
- MNW, mean low water: 140 cm.
- MW, mean water: 174 cm.
- MHW, mean high water: 515 cm.
- Record low (NNW): 116 cm , set on 17 Jul 1934.
Where a mark reads “not available”, the operator does not publish it for this gauge and we do not estimate it.
