Trans. : No Distribution : 1963-2018 Refernce Levl: All data are referred to a Datum Line (DL) associated with the tide gauge. The Standard Mark (SM) is physically located near the tide gauge and is directly leveled to a First Order Bench Mark of the Geographical Survey Institute. The SM is 3.978m above the DL. Comment : The daily or monthly means do not reveal any obvious reference level shifts. The data contain significant energy of 1 to 5 day periods related to atmospheric and oceanographic events. The monthly means show a linear increase of about 1 cm per year.
