              Original Data: hourly visual observations
              Instrmnt Type: tide pole

              Present Data : Hourly, daily, and monthly values obtained by:
                    Hourly : spot
                    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

                             An obvious level jump was corrected for 05 Jan -
                             05 May 1943 by adding 1000 mm.
              Comment      : The data are visual observations of a tide pole
                             by Japanese Navy personnel or prisoners of war
                             during World War II.  Observations were made on
                             the hour around the clock.  The residuals show
                             fluctuations within the tidal frequency band 
                             (roughly a day or less), yet it is unclear if
                             these are due to poor timing or the inability
                             of the tidal analysis to fully resolve the
                             complex tides of this region.
