EXISTING REAL TIDE GAUGE DATA SETS 

African Sea Level Data Facility
The ODINAFRICA Data Facility (developed under the Ocean Data and Information Network for Africa), is already operational at the IODE Project Office in Ostend, Belgium The roles of the facility are: (i) Data capture via GTS and archive in relational database as an OdinAfrica backup to national and GLOSS data centres, (ii) Web-display (including  plots and raw data provision) and provision of tide-gauge operator alert in case of equipment mal-function, (iii) semi-automatic data quality control, and (iii) communication with technical consultant and perhaps provide line  management.

The facility is built in a transplantable format with a view to having it mirrored at a location in Africa. The data will also be mirrored on the respective ODINAFRICA NODC website. The facility receives real time from the sea level data directly via GTS. The GTS link has been made possibly thanks to the kind cooperation of the World Meteorological Organisation. The sea level tide tool can be accessed at:  http://www.sealevelstation.net
