Canada-MEDS /IOS Sea Level Height Database

Measurement Details measurement of sea level (and lake level) heights from various stations in Canada Geographic Area Canada; Northeast Pacific IOSPBS Data Distribution Data for BC coastal stations (monthly averages) are available at IOS. (CCS$PHYSICS:[LIGHTHOUSE.ARCHIVE.MONTHLY]). Howard Freeland maintains time series from three stations (BAMFIELD, TOFINO and PRINCE RUPERT). These data need careful appraisal due to tectonic effects and instrumentation problems. PSARC_Utility variations in sea level height have been used as evidence of El Nino conditions and other oceanographic anomalies. Improvements Generally in good shape. Some additional file format options might be useful (IOS HEADER format, spreadsheet/CSV format).
