Predictions for over 700 standard and secondary ports around the UK and for many international locations can be computed to order. POL is the sole provider of tidal predictions to the Environment Agency and the Storm Tide Forecasting Service based at the Met. This laboratory is responsible for the installation, maintenance and running of the UK National Tide Gauge Network, giving us access to high quality data which is analysed using the latest methods to produce a diverse range of tidal prediction products.
All data is checked and validated.
Predictions are compared to observed data to ensure quality and accuracy. Historical data can be computed for research purposes.
