Possible datum shift of approximately +60cm between the gap 01 August and 08 August 1988.
-
Possible datum shift of approximately -90cm on 30 November 1991.
-
Time shift of -12 hrs applied to 01/01/81(15) - 11/01/81(11)
-
Time shift of -1 hrs applied to 01/02/81(02) - 10/03/81(08)
-
Time shift of -1 hrs applied to 01/01/82(00) - 30/01/82(23)
-
Time shift of +1 hrs applied to 24/06/88(09) - 30/07/88(16)
Most questionable fluctuations are related to timing problems with the gauge. 1991 contains major uncorrected timing errors as the data are not offset by increments of one hour.
