=========================== FOLLOWING PSMSL DOCUMENTATION ADDED 09-Aug-2010 :
The data for Cuxhaven was measured to Normal Null which is a German datum
related to levels at Potsdam near Berlin. It is similar to ODN in the UK and
NAP in Holland. It is unusual therefore that the German stations have been made
RLR as this 'breaks the rules' of RLR. Data 2000 onwards is refered to TGZ.
