UK Tide Gauge Network

About the UK network
The UK National Tide Gauge Network, run by the Tide Gauge Inspectorate, records tidal elevations at 44 locations around the UK coast. Find out about instruments, tide gauges and systems - [More]

Operational status
This shows the latest information regarding tide gauge operations e.g. notes on gauge problems and dates of maintenance - [More]

UK South Atlantic & Antarctic network (ACCLAIM network)

The ACCLAIM (Antarctic Circumpolar Current Levels by Altimetry and Island Measurements) programme in the South Atlantic and Southern Oceans consists of measurements from coastal tide gauges and bottom pressure stations, together with an ongoing research programme in satellite altimetry.

Gibraltar sea level station

Ocean currents flowing through the Strait of Gibraltar cause the level of the Mediterranean Sea to rise and fall and ultimately affect the ecosystems of the region across a wide area. Further information includes documentation, tidal predictions, data etc. [More]


Ocean Data & Information Network for Africa (ODINAFRICA)

Engineers here at POL are part of a project funded by the IOC/UNESCO to set up an African tide gauge network. Data and plots from these gauges can be found from the following external link:
