| Abstract | This article presents a curated database of the sea-level measurements acquired by the network of the five geodetic tide gauges managed over French Polynesia by the Geodesy Observatory of Tahiti from 13 June 2009 to 28 January 2021. A unique feature of this database, with respect to previous databases that host the same raw data, like the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission database (IOC, www.ioc-sealevelmonitoring.org) and the database of ‘Réseaux de référence des observations marégraphiques’ (REFMAR, http://refmar.shom.fr) is that all the time-tags of the raw measurements (1- or 2-min sampling) have been validated and, if necessary, corrected with a precision of 2 min (time shifts of up to 1 hr can be present in the raw data). Possible outliers have also been flagged, but not removed. In addition, smoothed hourly data are also provided, along with tidal analysis results and estimations of the sea-level trends for the five tide gauges, with respect to their local geodetic datum. The database, entitled ‘SEA LEVEL collected from TIDE STATIONS in South Pacific Ocean from 2009-06-13 to 2021-01-28’, can be accessed on the NOAA data servers as ‘NCEI Accession 0244182’ and contains two subsets: The first one is relative to the original sampling rate and the second one is relative to an hourly re-sampling with harmonic tide models for each tide gauge station. |
