SEA-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS IN HOSTILE CONDITIONS
Abstract
An international workshop on sea-level measurements in hostile conditions was held 13– 15 March 2018 at the N.N. Zubov State Oceanographic Institute (SOI) of Roshydromet, Moscow, Russian Federation. Experts from 11 countries (Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Russian Federation, Sweden, United Kingdom, and USA) presented to the workshop a total of 24 presentations. They are available from http://www.ioc-unesco.org/hostile-conditions-sea-level-workshop. The presentations and discussions at the workshop focused on problems of sea level measurements in regions exposed to several different kinds of adverse environmental impact. Such regions primarily include the coastal zones of the polar regions, as well as the seas covered with ice during winter. The workshop addressed the impacts of extreme events, such major storms and high wave conditions. The workshop also discussed new measurement systems and instrument protection technologies, together with methods for sustainable transmission of observational data. Recommendations of the workshop at SOI are available from:
