TIDAL OBSERVATIONS

 

Irish National Tide Gauge Network

Welcome to the Irish National Tide Gauge Network project home page. This page is
designed to require minimal bandwidth. The simple map below serves to illustrate
the monitoring sites (red dots) where tidal monitoring equipment is installed.
The data table below the map is live, clicking on any highlighted cell (blue
text) will bring up either a table or plot of the relevant data, depending on
which cell is accessed.



Tide predictions are available here

Important information when viewing table of live data.

Datum information and units: times are in UTC, water levels are in meters. All
levels are reported relative to Ordnance Datum Malin Head, OSGM 15.
Marine tide gauges are also reported to LAT. Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT) is
defined as the lowest level that can occur due to the astronomical tide. River
station data are reported to OD Malin Head. Where the gauge source data is from
OPW stations, please refer to www.waterlevel.ie for metadata and archive
download.

Welcome to the Irish National Tide Gauge Network - this is an on-going
development involving the Marine Institute and a number of organisations in the
public and private sectors to develop a permanent tidal monitoring
infrastructure, ultimately consisting off between 35 and 40 stations. The
project is currently entering year 5 of an anticipated 10 year program. 

The principle objectives are two fold:

 1. to involve local organisations (e.g. county councils) to assist them with
    local issues related to water level monitoring.
 2. to bring all operational tide gauges into a centrally managed national
    infrastructure.

Current activities include:

 * Strategic development of the network to work with new parties enabling the
   full resolution of the tidal regime around Ireland.
 * Roll out of GSM enabled data logging and telecommunications equipment for the
   central collection of data.
 * High precision site surveys to enable all data to be reported relative to the
   national datum (ordnance survey datum Malin Head).
 * Quality control of the stations to determine what outstanding work is
   required to get the best possible data.

The products from the network are wide-ranging and will be available as work
progresses:

 * Real-time data to an Internet site to support recreational users, navigation
   and commercial activities.
 * Tidal predictions, both in the form of software tools and paper publications.
 * Flood warning.
 * Long term sea level variability.

This infrastructure has been part funded under the Marine RTDI Measure of the
National Development Plan 2000-2006, co-funded by the European Regional
Development Fund (ERDF).
