Abstract:

This dataset provides in-situ, high-frequency meteorological and sea-level observations collected at the Virtsu station along the Estonian coastline bordering the Baltic Sea (58.576206, 23.508233). The measured parameters include wind direction, wind speed, wind gusts, air temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and sea level. The observational period for meteorological data spans from 1.01.2009 to 31.12.2025, while the sea-level data cover the period from 28.01.2009 to 31.12.2025. Sea-level measurements are referenced to the Estonian national height system EH2000.
