The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Sea level measured by tide gauges from global oceans -- the Joint Archive for Sea Level holdings as of October 2015 (NODC Accession 0019568) |
| Abstract: | The Joint Archive for Sea Level (JASL), a collaboration between the University of Hawaii Sea Level Center and the National Centers for Environmental Information (NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI) continues to acquire, quality control, manage, and distribute sea level data as initiated by the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Program, which ended in 1994. The JASL is a Global Sea Level Observing System archive center and is the largest global collection of quality-controlled hourly sea level. The JASL receives hourly data from regional and national sea level networks. The data are inspected and obvious errors such as data spikes and time shifts are corrected. Gaps less than 25 hours are interpolated. Reference level problems are referred back to the originator. If the originators can not resolve the reference level shift,comparisons with neighboring sites or examination of the hourly residuals may warrant an adjustment. Descriptive station information and quality assessments are prepared. The objective is to assemble a scientifically valid, well-documented archive of hourly and daily sea level values in standardized formats. These data are bi-annually submitted to the World Data Center-SS for Oceanography via NCEI, the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level, and the British Oceanographic Data Centre. This set contains the complete holdings of the JASL for series that have been quality controlled, assessed, and documented. As of October 2015, the holdings consisted of 689 series with 17,369 station-years of quality-assured data. The series are of variable lengths with the greatest concentration between 5 and 30 years, although a few sites have over 70 years. |

| Supplementary information: | In this Accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest version has the largest version number, in this case, 0019568v5.5. Some series in earlier versions have been corrected so it is important to use the most recent version, which also includes any new data added to the archive since the previous version was made. In this accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number. |
