This dataset is an amalgam of an analysis of the data for a given month, as well as six-minute, hourly and monthly data plots of each data parameter, for 12 PSLMP stations.
Includes plots of:
hourly data values (averaged from 6 minute values), per seaframe station, for sea level, barometric pressure, water temperature, air temperature, sea level Adjusted Residuals, sea level Residuals, wind speed, wind gust, and wind direction.
Data is from approximately 2006 onwards, from the following 12 tide gauge stations in the South Pacific:
Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia (Pohnpei), Fiji (Viti Levu - Lautoka), Kiribati (Tarawa - Betio), Marshall Islands (Majuro - Uliga), Nauru (Aiwo), Papua New Guinea (Manus - Lombrum), Samoa (Upolu - Apia), Solomon Islands (Guadalcanal - Honiara), Tonga (Tongatapu - Nuku'alofa), Tuvalu (Funafuti - Fongafale), Vanuatu (Efate - Port Vila).
A summary of each station's position (lat, long, SSBM) is available from
[ http://www.bom.gov.au/oceanography/projects/spslcmp/data/data.shtml ].
More station detail (including Australian Height Datum in metres above that station's Tide Gauge Zero, latitude, longitude, monitoring equipment, the station's BOM Station#, ANTT#, GLOSS ID, etc), are available by clicking the port name, on the webpage, or by using this URL formula: http://www.bom.gov.au/ntc/IDO50000/IDO50000_[ANTT#].pdf
(the ANTT# is provided in the Keywords section of this metadata record)
eg for TUVALU, the url fo station details is : http://www.bom.gov.au/ntc/IDO50000/IDO50000_67440.pdf
Dates and times, in the data, are given in Universal Time Coordinated (UTC).
Sea level values are in metres above Tide Gauge Zero (e.g. 1.205 metres)
SEAFRAME stations measure sea level very accurately, and also record meteorological parameters (such as air and water temperature, pressure and wind observations).
