The Aanderaa pressure gauge at Fuerteventura has been moved to a different position in the harbour and replaced by a new MIROS radar gauge. Both old and new gauges were running in parallel for the period 1.12.2009- 07.02.2011.for inter-comparison purposes. A bias (mean difference) of 4.25cm was found between the two gauges. See paper B. Perez et al 'Overlapping sea level time series measured using different technologies: an example from the REDMAR Spanish network'

Documentation added 2014-01-13

Further investigation revealed that the bias was due to a problem with the old pressure gauge. Data from this has been revised. Complete dataset was re-entered onto the database.

At the request of Puertos del Estado the latitude and longitude have been revised from 28.500000 -13.851667 derived from the previously supplied degrees and minutes value to 28.49251 -13.85822 which is the site of the new MIROS gauge in decimal degrees.
