The following tabulated information on Antarctic tide gauges has been extracted from the International Hydrographic Bureau (IHB) publication S-59 "Status of Hydrographic Surveying and Nautical Charting in Antarctica" and GLOSS documentation available from the PSMSL.
The codes used for country, tide gauge type and organisation are consistent with the codes used by the IHB.
The location of the tide gauges are shown on a map of Antarctica.
An enlarged map shows the location of the tide gauges on the Antarctic
Peninsula.
