UHSLC Fast Delivery

What it is: Hourly sea levels from tide gauges worldwide, contributed by national agencies and delivered within about one to two months. Fast Delivery data are later replaced by the yearly Research Quality data.
Publisher: University of Hawaii Sea Level Center (UHSLC).
What OTC takes: Gauge records that OTC fits. Stations that GESLA already supplies are matched, so that each gauge is fitted once. Each set records the agency that provided the record.
Licence: The dataset licence says the data “may be used and redistributed for free”, with no warranty and not for legal use. UHSLC asks users to cite the dataset.
Attribution line OTC uses: “Contains UHSLC Fast Delivery data”, with the UHSLC dataset citation and the name of the agency that provided each record.
Access and watching: Keyless static CSV and NetCDF files, one per station. A weekly check for new data.
Coverage: Global, about 300 or more stations, many in places with no other open source: Pacific islands, the Indian Ocean, Africa and South America.
Rank: Gauge fit.
