Description
Established in 1933, the PSMSL is the global data bank for long term sea level change information from tide gauges and bottom pressure recorders. It is based in Liverpool, U.K. at the National Oceanography Centre. The PSMSL data set is the main source of information on long term changes in global and regional sea level rise and variability during the last two centuries. The data have been employed intensively in studies such as those of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
