| Hourly: | Unconfirmed |
| Daily: | 119-point convolution filter (Bloomfield, 1976) centred 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: | 01 January 1963 - 31 December 1986 |
| Gaps > 1 Month: | 01 January - 31 December 1964, 31 Auguat - 02 December 1982 |

| Missing Data Flag: | 99999 |
| Reference Level: | All data are referred to tide gauge zero and linked to historic fixed bench marks. |
| 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. |
