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.
The RLR datums for both Stanley I (863/001) and Stanley II (863/002) have been set to be 10.7 m below benchmark A which is the same as 12.83 m below the PWD Office BM. The two RLR series can be combined if required although there is a large passage of time between them.

All data from October 1992 onwards were obtained from various B gauges (a form of accurate pressure tide gauge) located at the east end of Stanley harbour. However, data for October 2008 - April 2012 were obtained from a Kalesto radar tide gauge installed at the same location.
