Analysing semi-hourly sea surface height (SSH) observed by tidal stations of the National Cartographic Center (NCC) of Iran at Bushehr and Kangan ports indicates de-tided SSH during January 2014. This analysis shows the impact of two meteorological events during 16-17 and 24-25 January 2014, when the northwestern part of the Persian Gulf was affected by them. During both occurrences, the de-tided SSHs at both stations were uniform, but the impact was larger at Bushehr and weaker at Kangan. The results show that historical NCC sea-level data would be useful for validation of numerical models which are emerging as a major tool for storm surge warning system in the Persian Gulf.
