Please note: In many cases, the station position in our database is accurate
to only one minute. Thus, the tide gauge may not appear to be on the coast.
Ferrol 2 is a new station and is part of the REDMAR network.Gauge is a MIROS radar sensor. Benchmark is NGX-804 5.559m relative to datum REDMAR and 3.679m relative to IGN datum. Hardware problems (de-lamination) were initially experienced at the new gauge. This meant an adjustment of 6cm. The supplied data has been adjusted accordingly so the complete dataset was re-loaded. See paper B. Perez et al 'Overlapping sea level time series measured usin different technologies: an example from the REDMAR Spanish network'.
