ESEAS (European Sea-Level Service)

 

ESEAS (European Sea-Level Service) was established as a permanent service during its 7th Steering Committee in 2005. Following the third call to participate, 21 European countries including France, represented by SHOM, currently participate in this service and almost 200 tide gauges have been submitted as ESEAS observation sites, in accordance with the defined measurement criteria. The French contribution currently consists of 20 tide gauges in the RONIM network. The "ESEAS-Research Infrastructure" component supported by the European Commission was completed in 2005. The results are available in the form of reports.
