Station Documentation

Documentation - date unknown

Data for 1927-1929 were supplied by the Melbourne Harbour Trust, Melbourne, Victoria. Values are based on readings of high and low water.

Documentation added 1995-05-02

station density along some sections of the Australian coast has meant that station codes 601 onwards have been re-ordered compared to those in earlier versions of the PSMSL data set.

Documentation added 1996-05-17

Revised data values for the period 1966-1985 were supplied by the National Tidal Centre, Bureau of Meteorology, South Australia.

Documentation added 2014-10-29

This station cannot be made RLR as there is no datum information available from the National Tidal Centre.

Documentation added 2016-01-22

A value of MTL-MSL=14 mm has been derived using the GESLA2 (high-frequency tide gauge) dataset using harmonic constituents. As the correction is only applied to RLR data and the data from 1927-1929 is metric, it is not used in the data set. Should this period become metric in future, however, it would be used.
