We look at simulated heights of the sea surface at a certain area and compare them with field observation from three stationary stations and one from an ocean cruise. Mean Sea Surface data from the global model and Mean Sea Level (MSL) data from the field observation must be referenced to the same height system. For this reason, a height system in the form of a global ellipsoid model, namely the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) was chosen as the height reference. After being referenced in the same height system, then the MSS and MSL are compared by looking for the difference between the MSS of the ellipsoid hMSS and the MSL of the ellipsoid (hMSS) and the average of these differences. The results show that the differences are in the order of <1m. The simulated tidal waves from the global model is incapable to describe the actual sea level variations, although it is able to capture the general trend. It should be noted that the field observation is incomplete and subject to various uncertainties. Bearing in mind the limitation of the models and uncertainties of the observation, our study confirms that such an order discrepancy in a global sense is tolerable.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=".vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}"][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title="Author keywords" size="size-sm" text_align="text-left"][vc_column_text]Field observations,General trends,Global database,Global modeling,Mean sea level,Mean sea surfaces,Sea level variations,Sea surface height[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=".vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}"][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title="Indexed keywords" size="size-sm" text_align="text-left"][vc_column_text]mean sea level,mean sea surface,sea level height[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=".vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}"][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title="Funding details" size="size-sm" text_align="text-left"][vc_column_text]The authors thank Telkom University for holding the International Conference on Data Science and Its Applications (ICoDSA) 2020 enabling to publish this paper.
