| Tsunami Warning Operations: Sea Level Monitoring – Tide Tool and IOC Sea Level Monitoring Facility |
Tide Tool is an operations tool developed and supported by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center for the decode, display, and manipulation of sea level data (coastal and DART deep-ocean stations) transmitted over the WMO Global Telecommunications System (GTS). The tool continuously decodes sea level in real-time and displays the time series on a computer screen, as well as station metadata and transmission information. Non-operational versions also exist for data transmissions through the internet and for archived data. Available since 2005.
The IOC Sea Level Monitoring Facility, developed originally under the IOC IODE Project for the ODINAFRICA sea level network in 2006, is a web-based real-time monitoring tool for sea level stations globally. The tool provides sea-level data, station status, station information, data plots, and other database services. This tool should be used with caution for operational purposes since timely web access cannot be guaranteed all over the globe during emergencies. Available since 2008.
