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, 1846 - 2006(NODC Accession 0019568) |
| Abstract: | The Joint Archive for Sea Level (JASL), a collaboration between the University of Hawaii Sea Level Center (UHSLC) and the World Data Center-A for Oceanography, the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), and the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), continues to acquire, quality control, manage, and distribute sea level data as initiated by the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) Program, which ended in 1994. The TOGA ocean monitoring networks were primarily in the tropics. Since the end of TOGA, the JASL has slowly begun to absorb sea level sites in oceanographically strategic locations beyond the tropics. The JASL is now an official Global Sea Level Observing System (GLOSS) data center. The JASL Research Quality Data Set (RQDS) is the largest global collection of quality-controlled hourly sea level. Efforts are underway to acquire new sites and uncover historic records as available. 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, daily, and monthly sea level values in standardized formats. These data are annually submitted to the World Data Center-A for Oceanography (WDCA) and the monthly values are provided to the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level. This set contains the complete holdings of the JASL for series that have been quality controlled, assessed, and documented. As of May 2007 the holdings consisted of 558 series with 11,460 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. |
