JASL/UHSLC Research Quality Tide Gauge Data (daily)

The Joint Archive for Sea Level (JASL) Research Quality Data Set (RQDS) is a collaboration between the University of Hawaii Sea Level Center (UHSLC) and the World Data Center for Oceanography of the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The objective of the JASL RQDS is to assemble a well-documented, quality-controlled archive of hourly and daily sea level values that is appropriate for scientific research applications. The JASL RQDS is the largest global collection of quality-controlled hourly sea level data, and ongoing efforts seek to acquire new sites and uncover historic records as available.
