The UK Tide Gauge Network

The UK Tide Gauge Network, part of the National Tide and Sea Level Facility (NTSLF), was set up to obtain high quality tidal information and to provide warning of possible flooding of coastal areas around the British Isles.

It consists of 45 gauges located around the UK and operated by the National Oceanography Centre's Tide Gauge Inspectorate. Further details may be found on the NTSLF web site.

Data are collected, processed and banked to provide long term series of reliable and accurate sea levels. The data are used for tidal analysis and prediction, oceanographic research, coastal defence and storm surge warning systems. Daily checks are kept on the performance of the gauges and the data are downloaded weekly. BODC performs quality control checks and archives the data.
