Citation When using the tide gauge data set from the PSMSL, we ask that you reference the last paper describing the data set, as well as the data set itself. As an example, "the tide gauge data [Holgate et al., 2013; PSMSL, 2020] show that ..."

Abstract Established in 1933, the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) has been responsible for the collection, publication, analysis and interpretation of sea level data from the global network of tide gauges. It is based in Liverpool at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), which is a component of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). PSMSL data have many applications within: oceanography, climate change studies, geology, geodesy, surveying, and image of IPCC report. The most familiar application is the global and regional sea-level rise and variability. The PSMSL data set is the main source of information on long term changes in global sea level during the last two centuries. The data have been employed intensively in studies such as those of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
