Please note: In many cases, the station position in our database is accurate
to only one minute. Thus, the tide gauge may not appear to be on the coast.

The SRD acoustic gauge at Malaga has been moved and replaced by a new MIROS radar sensor. Both new and old gauges were running for the period 22.01.2009-23.04.2010 for inter-comparison purposes. A bias (mean difference) of 0.18cm was calculated. See paper by B. Perez et al 'Overlapping sea level time series measured using different technologies: an example from the REDMAR Spanish network'.

Further investigation revealed that the bias was due to a problem in the old Acoustic gauge. Data from this was revised. Complete dataset was re-entered onto the database.
