The objective of the JASL RQDS is to assemble a well-documented, quality-controlled archive of hourly and daily sea level values that is appropriate for scientific research applications. The JASL RQDS is the largest global collection of quality-controlled hourly sea level data, and ongoing efforts seek to acquire new sites and uncover historic records as available."; String processing_level "The JASL receives hourly data from regional and national sea level networks operating world-wide. JASL RQDS data undergo a level 1 quality assessment focused on variability (e.g., unit and timing evaluation, outlier detection, combination of multiple channels into a primary channel, etc.) followed by a level 2 quality assessment focused on datum stability (e.g., tide gauge datum evaluation, assessment of level ties to tide gauge benchmarks, comparison with nearby stations, etc.)."; String acknowledgment "The JASL/UHSLC Research Quality Data Set is supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) via the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and the Office of Climate Observations (OCO)."; } }
