France is very rich in systematic observations of coastal sea level over long time periods. The oldest (published) series of measurements were performed by the astronomers La Hire and Picard at Brest, France, in 1679, over about ten days. They repeated the experiment in 1692, over several months, again in Brest. Their aim was to study the tides and their results showed the fundamental importance of observation to understand and determine the characteristics of tides in a given place for the (…)

Le patrimoine historique
28 mars 2008, par Guy WoppelmannLa France est très riche en observations systématiques de hauteur d’eau le long des côtes sur de longues périodes de temps. Les plus anciennes séries de mesures (publiées) furent réalisées par les astronomes La Hire et Picard à Brest, en France, en 1679 pendant une dizaine de jours. Ils renouvelleront leur expérience en 1692, pendant plusieurs mois, toujours à Brest. Leur objectif : l’étude de la marée. Leurs résultats montreront l’intérêt fondamental de l’observation pour connaître et (…)

Description of the DORIS tracking beacons
10 December 2010, by FrankThe DORIS network of tracking beacons was established by IGN in 1986 and has been run and maintained by them since then. Geodetic files describe the stations of the DORIS network. They are avilable on the web site of IDS (International DORIS Service) on a page that also has a dynamic map showing the geographical distribution of the network (click on the link).

About
22 February 2017, by Mikaël GuichardIn briefest terms, the approach consists in differencing the sea level time series from a tide gauge with an equivalent time series from satellite altimetry. To the extent that both instruments measure identical ocean signals, their difference is a proxy for the vertical position of the tide gauge. Assuming that the instrumental drifts are negligible, the time series of the sea level differences will then be dominated by vertical land motion at the tide gauge. This is illustrated in the (…)

What GNSS data?
10 December 2010, by Guy WoppelmannThe GNSS observations that we provide are in the form of daily 30s files (24h of observations at 30s intervals) in the standard international RINEX format. Further information on the RINEX files.
Apart from the RINEX observation files of the GNSS stations, SONEL provides ancillary information which enables a precise analysis of the GNSS measurements, in particular :
– the precise orbits of IGS,
– the Earth orientation parameters of IGS. Evolution of the number of Rinex files (…) -

How to access the tide gauge observations
20 February 2011, by Guy WoppelmannThe files of average values
Only the daily, monthly and annual averages calculated from quality controlled (QC’ed) data are provided in the data files. However, the graphs show the averages calculated from QC’ed observations (in blue) and non-QC’ed observations (in red). The averages are calculated from the Demerliac filter and the Doodson filter, with the possibility of a choice for the user. An example is given on the image below, which is taken from the web page of the La Rochelle (…)
