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 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.

A value of MTL-MSL=-88 mm has been applied to the RLR data for the period 1843-1984. This value was derived from harmonic constants using the GESLA2 (high-frequency tide gauge) dataset. This value agrees well with that published by Wahl et al., NHSS, 10, 171–179, 2010, of about -9 cm.

Data for 2011 onwards has been supplied using RLR as the datum. Therefore no adjustment needs to be applied to the data.
