A new modern integrated sea-level monitoring system has been installed at Alexandria. New precise hourly tide, GPS, and metrological observations have been collected, processed, and analyzed for the years 2001, 2002, and 2003. Additionally monthly and annual tide records of a number of tide gauge stations in Egypt have been collected and investigated. Therefore, various analysis procedures have been carried out to draw a clear view concerning the behavior and characteristics of the collected tide data over the last century. Rates of sea level rise over different sites on the Egyptian territories are evaluated. Moreover, slope of the Mediterranean along the Egyptian Delta coast is investigated and documented. This research illustrates the data sources, discusses the followed procedures, and presents the obtained results. |
