Sea level is monitored in Spain by various
agencies for different applications: control of the
national levelling system, oceanographic studies,
climate change, operational purpose, harbour
operations, navigation, etc.
The paper describes the initial efforts in a project whose objective is to obtain a 40-year hindcast of wind, sea level and wave climatology for European waters.
La series del nivel del mar procedentes de la red de estaciones mareográficas costeras operadas por el IEO pueden ser consideradas por su longitud y su distribución geográfica un índice de la variabilidad regional
climática.
