Quality Assessment by the UH Sea Level Centre
Comment
Noisy residuals during spring tides of 1986-1988 are due to silting in the stilling well around the time of lowest low water levels. The daily and monthly means reveal no apparent changes in the reference level. Station discontinued in May 1988.
