This data publication encompasses a set of global tidal levels for individual epochs between 21 ka BP and present-day, the underlying global partial tides solutions (sea surface elevations and transports), and the global mean tidal dissipation as calculated from 8 partial tides. The data set was produced using the purely-hydrodynamical ocean tide model TiME, which was recently upgraded in the framework of the DFG-project Nerograv (https://www.lrg.tum.de/iapg/nerograv/) and which can be used for several applications: first, the reconstruction of indicative ranges for paleo sea levels markers, e.g. sea-level index points (SLIPs), second, to derive open boundary conditions for high-resolution regional paleo tide simulations, and third, to provide constraints for tidal deep ocean dissipation when running ocean general circulations models (OGCMs). The gridded information was transferred to a number of files in netcdf-format on a rotated-pole grid. The next section describes the creation of the data in more detail. Please also consider the data description for more details about the creation of this data
set.
Long-term tide gauge records provide valuable insights to sea level variations, but interpretation requires an accurate determination of the associated vertical land motion. Within the Tide Gauge Benchmark Monitoring Working Group of the International GNSS Service, we performed a dedicated reprocessing (1994-2020) for GNSS stations co-located with tide gauges. Based on 341 stations the GFZ contribution to the third TIGA reprocessing provides vertical land motion rates for 230 stations at or close to recently active tide gauges. We limited the processing to GPS observations.
