QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF SEA LEVEL DATA by the UH SEA LEVEL CENTER/NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA CENTER JOINT ARCHIVE FOR SEA LEVEL Updated: 29 Nov 2019 Station : Port-au-Prince Latitude: 18 34.0N Country : Haiti Longitude: 072 21.0W JASL # : 799A Time Meridian: 075W (GMT - 5 hr) GLOSS # : 209 Originator #: 799 NODC #: 71078201 Contributor : University of Hawaii Sea Level Center (UHSLC) 1000 Pope Rd. MSB 317 Honolulu, HI 96822 As of the 2019 JASL update, UHSLC no longer maintains this station, though are still receiving the data via satellite and providing to JASL. Originator : same Original Data: digital Instrmnt Type: 1) 11/2011 - radar (RAD) gauge (Vega Vegapuls 62) 2) 11/2011 - Bubbler (BUB) Primary channel used in JASL set: 2011-2018: RAD *short gaps in primary channel filled with other channels as available; see UHSLC for specific dates Digitzd Intvl: 2 min (RAD); 2 min (BUB) Present Data : Hourly, daily, and monthly values obtained by: Hourly : 3-point Hanning Filter centered on the 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 : 30 Nov 2011 - 31 Dec 2018 Gaps > 1 mon : 28 Nov 2016 - 28 Dec 2016 Time Refernce: GMT (hours 00-23) Space-filler Flag :-9999 Units : millimeters Missing Data Flag : 9999 Existing : Yes Operational : Yes Sat. Trans. : Yes Distribution : 2011-2018 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 data are of good quality. The daily values agree well with Punta Cana and altimeter data. JASL Nov 2019 update replaces 2016- 05 Sep 2017.
