<!--!introduction!--> Ocean tides are a vital component of global ocean circulation, with their role in the Arctic Ocean being crucial for ocean and sea ice dynamics. Recently, significant advances have been made in global ocean tide models, however, difficulties remain in the coastal regions as well as in the higher latitudes. The latter is related to the poorly resolved bottom topography, the influence of sea ice and limited regular satellite altimetry measurements. Although modelling efforts are attempting to improve our ocean tide estimates in the Arctic Ocean, the tidal in-situ network is an additional limiting factor in this region. In-situ measurements from tide gauges or ocean bottom pressure sensors are crucial sources of information that can be used to understand the spatial variability of tides as well as validate the advances made in modelled estimates. However, globally in-situ tidal constituent databases contain a limited number of observations with, for example, TICON-3 containing 111 ... : The 28th IUGG General Assembly (IUGG2023) (Berlin 2023) ...
