              Refernce Levl: The data have been linked to tide staff zero by
                             the contributors.  Information on geodetic surveys
                             of benchmarks can be obtained from the originators.
                             The hourly data were key entered at the Univ. of
                             Hawaii.  Tide staff readings were provided and
                             analysed, but no corrections were applied.
                             It appears that the paper tables of hourly values 
                             had received the adjustments from the tide staff 
                             readings.
              Comment      : The data record is short but of good quality.
