Please note: In many cases, the station position in our database is accurate
to only one minute. Thus, the tide gauge may not appear to be on the coast.
At the request of the data supplier, KHOA the name of this station has been changed to Yeosu. The values for lat. and long, have also been revised. Tide gauge is a MIROS radar gauge

When preparing the RLR diagram to be displayed on the PSMSL website it was noted that the data for 1966-1969 was not RLR. There are no problems with the data for this period so the whole dataset 1966 onwards is now RLR.
