h:En:Gauges

Deutsch	English

Water level gauging stations measure the height of the water level of seas, rivers and lakes.

Tide gauge and Steam gauge data are an important reference quantity for measuring water depth, for recording high and low tides, for assessing flow velocities, navigability of waterways, navigability of white water stretches, for early detection of flood danger. Therefore they are dynamically displayed in OpenSeaMap.

Gauges in OpenSeaMap

OpenSeaMap displays gauge locations in a layer.

The icons are clickable, in a popup are displayed:

• static gauge data (name, water body, area, gauge zero).
• dynamic water level data (water level, tendency, date and time of measurement)

A link shows for each gauge:

• the current hydrograph
• a meteogram with current weather data
