QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF SEA LEVEL DATA by the UH SEA LEVEL CENTER/NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA CENTER JOINT ARCHIVE FOR SEA LEVEL Updated: 12 Apr 2019 Station : Palmyra Island-B Latitude: 05 53.3N Country : USA Trust Longitude: 162 05.0W JASL # : 043B Time Meridian: 150W (GMT - 10 hr) GLOSS # : none Originator #: 043 NODC #: 7016520 Contributor : UH Sea Level Center 1000 Pope Rd. MSB 317 Honolulu, Hawaii 96822 Originator : same Original Data: digital Instrmnt Type: 1) 11/2012-, Bubbler (BUB) 2) 11/2012-, Radar (RAD), Vega Vegapuls 62 3) 11/2012-, Pressure transducer (PRS) Primary channel used in JASL set: 2012-: RAD *short gaps in primary channel filled with other channels as available; see UHSLC for specific dates Digitzd Intvl: 10 min (BUB), 2 min (RAD), 2 min (PRS) Present Data : Hourly, daily, and monthly values obtained by: Hourly : three-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 : 29 Nov 2012 - 31 Dec 2018 Gaps > 1 mon : 01 Apr 2018 - 03 May 2018 Time Refernce: GMT (hours 00-23) Space-filler Flag :-9999 Units : millimeters Missing Data Flag : 9999 Existing : Yes Operational : Yes Sat. Trans. : Yes Distribution : 2012-2018 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 means reveal no apparent changes in the reference level. The JASL update of 12 Apr 2019 replaces 01 Jan 2016 - 05 Sep 2017.
