Global Sea Level Observing System

Engineering Division has installed a new GLOSS (Global Sea Level Observing System) site in Castletownbere, Co. Cork. The Global Sea Level Observing System (GLOSS) was conceived in the mid 1980's as a network of tide gauges (sea level stations) around the world, providing data needed for international sea level programmes related to oceanography, geophysics and climate change.

The site is recording tidal data with cm accuracy, continuous GPS for the separation of vertical land movements from the climate related changes in mean sea levels, air pressure, sea and air temperature and wind speed and direction.
