Details

Data are provided as a list.

• infogives general information about the data
• OTinfogives general information about the Over the Threshold part of data. The effective duration (effDurationelement) is the total duration for the periods with effective measurements.
• OTdatagive OT measurements
• OTmissinggives start and end of the missing periods for OT measurements.

Data come from hourly sea levels measured and predicted by the french Service Hydrogéographique{Hydrogeographique} et Océanographique{Oceanographique} de la Marine (SHOM). Observed sea levels are available as REFMAR data at the url http://data.shom.fr. Data were processed (declustered) by IRSN in order to provide a series of independent surge heights at high tide. Surge height at high tide is defined as the difference between the observed and the predicted maximal sea levels near high tide. A correction was applied to account for trend in the sea-level over the observation period. The effective duration given in years is defined up to a small fraction of year due to leap years and leap seconds.
