QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF SEA LEVEL DATA by the UH SEA LEVEL CENTER/NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA CENTER JOINT ARCHIVE FOR SEA LEVEL updated: 29 Oct 2019 Station : Bundaberg Latitude: 24 46.0S Country : Australia Longitude: 152 22.8E JASL # : 332A Time Meridian: 150E (GMT + 10 hr) GLOSS # : 059 Originator #: H051011A NODC #: 32154201 Contributor : National Tidal Centre, Bureau of Meteorology PO Box 421 Kent Town SA 5071 South Australia AUSTRALIA Originator : Bundaberg Port Authority Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia and Maritime Safety Queensland Dept. of Harbours and Marine Queensland, Australia Original Data: LS: analog, RAD: digital Instrmnt Type: 1. 1984-2005: Float/well; Leupold and Stevens (LS) model A71 2. 2006-: Vega Radar (RAD) PULS42 Digitzd Intvl: LS: hourly, RAD: 10 min Present Data : Hourly, daily, and monthly values obtained by: Hourly : LS: spot hourly, RAD: spot sample on hour Daily : 119-point convolution filter (Bloomfield, 1976) centered on noon applied to the hourly data with respective periods of the 95, 50, and 5% amplitude points at 124.0, 60.2, and 40.2 hours Monthly: Simple average of all daily values; calculated if 7 or fewer days are missing Span of data : 01 Jan 1984 - 31 Dec 2018 Gaps > 1 mon : none Time Refernce: GMT (hours 00-23) Space-filler Flag :-9999 Units : millimeters Missing Data Flag : 9999 Existing : Yes Operational : Yes Sat. Trans. : No Distribution : 1984-2018 Refernce Levl: The sea level heights are referred to the tide station zero which is linked to fixed benchmarks. Reference Frame: Vertical: LAT TGBM Name/Number: PSM 3853 TGBM Elevation: 6.061m Comment : Notes from NTC: The readings are corrected to datum by means of the water level checks. Outliers are detected by eye using non-tideal residual plot. Breaks are filled using a maximum of 15 predicted readings fitted to the adjacent observations. Notes from JASL: The daily and monthly values are reasonable and do not reveal any obvious errors. The phase of the timing drifted on occassion prior to 1991. Tropical cyclone Dylan caused the extreme water levels of late January 2014. SPECIAL NOTE TO USERS OF NAT.
