Trans. : Yes Distribution : 1996-2018 Refernce Levl: Heights are referred to the station tide staff zero, which is linked to land-based benchmarks. This reference zero is unique to this station and is not an official datum (chart, national, etc.) and is not relative to local tidal parameters, such as mean lower low water. See the Originators for benchmark descriptions, maps, and the geodetic levelling history. Comment : The daily and monthly values do not reveal any obvious reference level shifts or trends. The timing is good, except questionable for Sep-Dec 2000. Large number of gaps 2010-2017. JASL Nov 2019 update replaces 2016- 04 Sep 2017.
