=========================== FOLLOWING PSMSL DOCUMENTATION ADDED 2002Sep24 :
A description of the sea level network in Finland can be found
in 'Operational Oceanography: Implementation at the European
and Regional scales. 2002 (pp.129-137)'.
1883-1921 FCODE=01
1922-1970 FCODE=06
=========================== FOLLOWING PSMSL DOCUMENTATION ADDED 11-JUN-91 :
Vaasa/Vasa 060/051 RLR(1964) is 8.0m below BM1139G
=========================== BENCHMARK INFORMATION UPDATE ADDED 12-JUL-93 :
Vaasa/Vasa 060/051 RLR(1964) is 8.0m below BM1139G
=========================== FOLLOWING PSMSL DOCUMENTATION ADDED 09-Jan-2012 :
Levelling information recently supplied by the Finnish Meteorological Institute
confirms that previous benchmark 1139G is no longer used. From 2000 onwards
Primary benchmark is 00003 3.294 above gauge datum. While this was being
reviewed it was noticed that data for the period Jan1919-Dec1921 was not
included as RLR leaving a gap in the RLR dataset. Although this was
investigated no reason was found for this anomaly. This data period has now
been included in the RLR dataset.
