• We remind the task of GIANT Program Summary
  2000-2002 for the Program 5. Tide Gauge Data, at
  the XXVI SCAR Meeting of 10-14 July 2000, Tokyo,
  Japan.

• GOAL To consolidate the collection of and access
  to Antarctic tide gauge information
• Activities
• Gather information on history of establishment
  and operation of Antarctic tide gauges
• Research and list all permanent and significant
  tide gauges established for hydrographic
  information and scientific studies
• List all known sea level determinations, dates
  and accuracy estimates for all significant tide
  gauge
• Identify benchmark values and connections to GPS
  observations sites
• Facilitate index data into the Geodetic data base
• Facilitate the delivery of data to the Southern
  Ocean Sea Level Centre SOSLC
• Post meta data on web
• 2002 2004 (Facilitate guidelines on
  establishment and calibrating on bottom mounted
  and acoustic type gauges in Antarctic conditions)

JAPAN Hourly tidal observation data from each
Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition were
published by the JARE Data Reports Oceanography
Series.  

• The most recent one is
• Oikawa, K., and Iwamoto, K. (1999) Oceanographic
  data of the 38th Japanese Antarctic Research
  Expedition from November 1996 to March 1997, JARE
  Data Rep. No. 246 (Oceanography 21), 50pp,
  National Institute of Polar Research, Tokyo.
•  
• Tidal data from JARE-21 through JARE-37 are
  available.
