=========================== FOLLOWING PSMSL DOCUMENTATION ADDED 2001Jan02 :
Recent work on vertical land movements in the UK can be found from
the University of Nottingham web site:
http://ukcogr.iessg.nottingham.ac.uk/~eosi/
=========================== FOLLOWING PSMSL DOCUMENTATION ADDED 11-JUN-91 :
Aberdeen I 170/011 RLR(1964) is 10.4m below BM NJ9558 0581
=========================== BENCHMARK INFORMATION UPDATE ADDED 12-JUL-93 :
Aberdeen I 170/011 RLR(1964) is 10.4m below BM NJ9558 0581
=========================== FOLLOWING PSMSL DOCUMENTATION ADDED 20-JUL-94 :
Cary-Porter stilling well gauge installed May 1930, replaced
with Munro July 1967, and moved to a new site February 1973.
A Neyrpic temporary gauge was installed during harbour works
November 1975-December 1976.
A new Munro was installed in December 1979, replaced by an
"A Class" bubbler in December 1985.
=========================== FOLLOWING PSMSL DOCUMENTATION ADDED 16-AUG-95 :
The two Aberdeen records are because one (170/011) is MSL and the
other (170/012) is MTL (Mean Tide Level). There is a systematic 14 mm
difference in datum between the two which can be determined from
the period of overlap - see 'Trends in UK mean sea level' by
P.L.Woodworth, Marine Geodesy, 11, 57-87, 1987.
=========================== FOLLOWING PSMSL DOCUMENTATION ADDED 25-NOV-96 :
Correspondence between MSL and MTL (series 170/011 and 170/012)
is poor around 1948 because of many missing days.
=========================== FOLLOWING PSMSL DOCUMENTATION ADDED 17-JUL-97 :
September 1993: gauge removed
February 1994: gauge re-installed
