Summary
Abstract: The ROSAME French tide gauge network is complementing several national research programmes using in situ real time sea level observations, in the peri-Antarctic area of the Indian Ocean. These programmes are related to: tsunami warning system, satellite altimetry processing and validation, Antarctic Circumpolar Current monitoring and secular mean sea level trends. This tide gauges network is part ... View entire text
