Tidal PlotMEDS acquires, processes, quality controls, archives and distributes tide and water level (TWL) data reported on a daily to monthly basis from the DFO Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) water level gauging network.

MEDS also operates a Tides and Water Levels Benchmark Database for the Canadian Hydrographic Service where information on the benchmarks from various DFO stations can be found.

As Canada's national data centre, MEDS historical tides and water level data archives presently hold over 30 million records with the earliest dating back before the turn of the century.  Over 70,000 new hourly height observations and other higher resolution data are added on a monthly basis.  Data are also exchanged annually with Environment Canada.

MEDS also participates in the Global Sea Level Observing System (GLOSS) by contributing data from the Canadian network on an annual basis.
