Long-term mean sea level (MSL) data

This GLOSS data center focusses on collecting and redistributing high frequency, relative sea level data in real-time.
Most stations provide values every minute and are updated each 5 minutes.
The GLOSS data centers at the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL), the British Oceanographic Data Center (BODC) and the University of Hawaii Sea Level Center (UHSLC) perform the additional processing steps needed to calculate long-term mean sea level (MSL) data at hourly, daily, monthly and yearly averages.
Where available, the station detail page links to these mean sea level data series
