. Catalogue of data. Change notice / World Data Center A, Oceanography. Oceanography TROPICAL OCEAN and GLOBAL ATMOSPHERE PROGRAMME SEA LEVEL DATA SET TOGA Background A major component of the TOGA International Implementation Plan is the monitoring of the global atmosphere and the upper layers of the three tropical oceans during the ten-year period of 1985-1994. Existing meteorological and oceanographic observation systems have been maintained and expanded by TOGA while new networks have been installed in key locations. These observations along with available historical data will provide a description of the ocean-climate system and its variability from sub-seasonal to interannual scales. TOGA Sea Level Center The TOGA Project, realizing the importance of sea level data for reasearch in ocean dynamics and for the monitoring and prediction of oceanographic processes, has estabUshed a TOGA Sea Level Center at the University of Hawaii. It is the purpose of the Center to collect all sea level data taken by island-based and coastal tide gauges in the TOGA area between 30°N and 30°S during the ten years of the TOGA project, 1985 to 1994, and to make them available for research. The TOGA Sea Level Center also obtains and archives past sea level data for the same region, when they are made available from the originators. Hourly, daily, and monthly values are prepared and archived, the data are stored digitally on magnetic tape, and are passed on yearly to other TOGA data centers, to the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL), and to the World Data Centers A, B, and D for Oceanog- raphy. The TOGA Sea Level Center also supports the Global Sea Level Observing System (GLOSS). The importance of sea level data has been enhanced by the need for calibration of satellite altimeters such as GEOSAT, and for the TOPEX mission planned for Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability
