heal.abstract	The reference surface of heights for the continental Hellenic area is currently defined by the mean sea level of the period 1933-1978, as estimated at the port of Pireaus. However due to various problems having occurred there since 1981 [3], alternative tide gauge locations in Greece have been sought in order to redefine a height reference surface according to the latest mean sea level variations. The tide gauge at the port of Alexandroupolis belongs to a permanent tidal net [5] consisting of 20 tide gauges (major mareographs) and monitoring sea level variations in Greece (Fig. 1) Our task is primarily to determine mean sea level height in association with a very recent time period and also a suitable measure of the precision of observations thereat. Two main models are considered according to whether variations of astronomical and meteorological nature are modelled or not modelled. Effects of time span of records and of data quality are discussed.	en
