| Description | |
| Summary | Sea level measurements initially started around 1774, to investigate why the sea water disappeared. At present, sea level is recorded from 34 stations in all seas surrounding Sweden. Once every hour the data are evaluated and one value is stored. The data is manually controlled. The benchmarks are controlled once a year. The purpose of collecting sea level data is to provide a basis for forecasting, mathematical modelling (forcing), statistics, planning and validation of models. In the future there is a need for assimilation of the model High Resolution Oceanographic Model for the Baltic Sea (HIROMB). |
