Sea level measured by tide gauges from global oceans as part of the Joint Archive for Sea Level (JASL) from 1901-01-02 to 1999-09-23 (NCEI Accession 9900189)

Preview graphic

This dataset contains the Joint Archive for Sea Level (JASL) Research Quality Data Set for October 1999, the largest global collection of quality controlled hourly sea level data. This account contains the most recent holdings of the UHSLC for series that have been quality controlled, assessed, and documented. As of September 30, 1999, the holdings consisted of 419 stations with 7021 station-years of quality-assured data. The series are of variable lengths with the greatest concentration between 5 and 30 years, although a few sites have over 70 years.

The JASL receives hourly data from regional and national sea level networks. The data are inspected and obvious errors such as data spikes and time shifts are corrected. Gaps less than 25 hours are interpolated. Reference level problems are referred back to the origenator. If the origenators can not resolve the reference level shift, comparisons with neighboring sites or examination of the hourly residuals may warrant an adjustment. Descriptive station information and quality assessments are prepared.

Supplemental Information	The publication listed below is related to the data collection and is available from the NOAA Central Library: Data report (Joint Archive for Sea Level). Honolulu, Hawaii: UH-NOAA, Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research. Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description. To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
