Requirements: Understanding sea-level rise and variability, WCRP workshop,
Paris, 2006
• Continued maintenance and enhancement of the global tide-gauge network is essential.
• The GLOSS Core Network (GCN) and the GCOS Climate subset of that network provide the blueprint for future network development.
• Address the land-motion problem at the tide gauges. Complement GIA model estimates with direct geodetic measurements at each site. ….placing all of these measurements into a consistent, high-quality global reference frame...

GLOSS Core Network
Part of JCOMM Observations Programme Area (OPA)
Coordinated by IOC GLOSS Group of Experts
290 stations covering most major island groups and ~1000 km sections of continental coastline
Delayed mode data: BODC/PSMSL
Fast delivery data: QC’d at 4 week intervals, UHSLC
Near real-time data: 5-15 min transmissions, VLIZ
GPS at Tide Gauges: TIGA, Potsdam, La Rochelle

GCOS sea level network
• 180 station subset of GLOSS for climate monitoring and research
• Priority on long climate records, even global distribution
• Geodetic land motion measurements at each station

GCOS Network Issues
• Active stations 85%• 90% after upcoming tsunami upgrades in Pacific, Caribbean, Central,
and South America• Reevaluate station list
• Fast Delivery 71%• 22 stations (12%) in China, India, Russia, Cuba• Reevaluate station list
• GPS/DORIS 57%• GLOSS workshop (May 2009) on GPS@TG, call for coordinated,
international project to install 50-100 new GPS stations, delayed mode processing centers, consistent global reference frame
• Seeking $3-5 M for initial installation
