| Zusammenfassung |
| This paper summaries findings from a survey of European sea level
infrastructure (tide gauges, telemetry methods, ancillary information)
conducted at the end of 2008 on behalf of the Tsunami Risk ANd Strategies
For the European Region (TRANSFER), Tsunami Early Warning and Mitigation
System in the North-Eastern Atlantic, the Mediterranean and Connected Seas
(NEAMTWS), European Sea Level Service (ESEAS) and Global Sea Level Observing
System (GLOSS) projects and programmes. Approximately 478 strategic tide
gauges were found to be operational at this time, of which about
three-quarters have near-real time data telemetry of various kinds. Around
half of the gauges take part in real-time international data exchange. The
NEAMTWS network can be considered to be in good shape in that most of its
sites for which a gauge exists will be capable of meeting required standards
in the near future. On the other hand, NEAMTWS (and the European and North
African network in general) contains major gaps along the North African
coastline and on European Mediterranean and Black Sea coasts which require
new installations. The paper also summaries standards for the various sea
level programmes, and reviews existing European infrastructure in the form
of data centres and web sites. |
