Quality Assessment
All data have been tidally analysed and constants and residuals checked. Records have been visually inspected for spikes, timing and datum shifts. In most cases, records listed as marked below are isoleted spikes, rather than long periods of bad data.
Possible datum shift 01 Oct 1974 0300hrs +30cm
Possible datum shift 12 Nov 1974 2000hrs -30cm
