Station Documentation

Documentation - date unknown

All Dutch METRIC data are measured to NAP (NORMAAL AMSTERDAMSCH PEIL)

The note above stating that periods of the data are MTL is misleading. Sections of the original data were MTL. However, Pub. Sci. 5 states “For these periods a shallow water correction has been added to the mean heights of high and low water in order to give a mean height of sea-level comparable with those otherwise calculated for other periods.” Thus, a correction to MSL has already been applied.
