Reports from GLOSS training courses and workshops
Training courses and workshops on sea level measurement and interpretation have been held at least annually since 1983 covering tide gauge installation, maintenance and operation; data reduction of sea level observations; geodetic fixing of tide gauge benchmarks; uses of sea level data in scientific analysis and practical coastal applications; and data exchange. Since 1993, the emphasis has been given to the training in computer-based data analysis within HOTS (Hands On Training Sessions), and to the application of the results to studies of regional and local processes and for practical purposes.
