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.

Levelling information recently supplied by the Finnish Meteorological Institute confirms that the Primary benchmark remains 116 4.231m above the datum for 1913 onwards. This also brought attention to a previous error in the documentation. The relationship between BM 116 and RLR was quoted as being 9.5m when infact it should be 9.7m.Documentation added 2017-05-04
Primary benchmark is now TGBM 04006 as the previous Primary benchmark TGBM 116 was destoyed during construction work.Documentation added 2019-11-27
From 2018 onwards the averages of the Finnish sea level data will be based on 1 min observations. Values are calculated in Finnish normal time (EET).The data are relative to the reference surface of the Finnish sea level observations and thus the datum is the tide gauge zero.
