# Irish National Tide Gauge Network (INTGN) Active Nodes
#******GENERAL INFOMATION******
#open access real time ftp site
#water level data is logged at a maximum frequency (i.e. interval not greater than) 6 minutes apart from Castletownbere,
#(Co. Cork) which is 15 minutes.
#data upload to this site is nominally I hour in arears, but may be more frequent

# This file most recent update was 01 May 2012
#******ISSUES / PROBLEMS******
#Please bear in mind this project is a work in progress.
#See the website (www.irishtides.ie) for information about issues. 'na' means data are either not available or a problem has arisen and these data have been temporarily stood down from the wb site.
#Please get in touch with mistakes / problems / comment / suggestions
# '~~' preceeding a sensor no. means transducer not yet activated at that site but logger is ready.
# If you are using / wish to use the Kish data, Please get in touch for the most recent information regarding the datum offsets and the survey.
