Gauge Genua, Tide gauge in Port of Genoa, Italy

Gauge Genua is a tide measurement station in the Port of Genoa that records sea level changes in the Ligurian Sea continuously throughout the day. The station captures daily fluctuations and supplies essential data for maritime navigation and research on coastal water behavior.

The station was established as part of Italy's network for measuring sea level reference points across the Mediterranean region. Decades of continuous operation have created a valuable historical record of water level changes along the Ligurian coast.

The measurement station represents the foundation of Italian altimetric network, supporting maritime navigation and coastal management across the region.

The station operates automatically from the harbor area and is visible from public walkways without requiring special access. Visiting the waterfront at different times of day helps you observe how water levels shift throughout the tide cycle.

The station processes include lunar phase calculations and weather factors to generate precise tidal predictions for the Genoa harbor area.
