Below meta data is shared on the datasets included in BlueEarth Data including further reading and information about the dataset validity and quality, where available.
Dataset | Description | More information |
---|---|---|
Currents, Water level, Storm Surge, Tide | Water level, storm surge, tide and current forecasts from the operational Global Storm Surge Information System (GLOSSIS) using Deltares’ Global Tide and Surge Model (GTSM). This includes 10 day forecasts at hundreds of nearshore locations across the world. Click here for more information about GLOSSIS. | For further information, see:

Maximum water levels | Maximum water levels for return periods of 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, 25 years, 50 years, 75 years and 100 years, based on a reanalysis with Deltares’ Global Tide and Surge Model (GTSM). | The return periods are derived from a 38 year reanalysis with the GTSM, using ERA5 meteorology as input and with a Gumbel model fitted to the data. See the Wiki for further information about the GTSM, this reanalysis and further climate change scenarios carried out using this model. |
Tidal indicators | Tidal indicators as calculated using Deltares’ Global Tide and Surge Model (GTSM). | Included are the Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT), the Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT), the Mean Higher High Water (MHHW), the Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), the tidal range (Range) and the Mean Sea Level (MSL). |
Shoreline Monitor | Historic shoreline changes between 1985 - 2016 based on satellite-derived shorelines. Annual time series with an alongshore resolution of 500m along the world's coastline. | For further information, see:
