Joseph, Antony ... [et al.]

Powerpoint presentation.

Tidal measurement began in the then Gold Coast in 1927 at the Takoradi Harbour. Main aim then was to control movement of ships in and out of the harbour. This makes Takoradi harbour one of the oldest in Africa and most reliable for sea level measurement. In view of this Takoradi was designated as a Global Sea Level Observation System (GLOSS) station.
