Station density along some sections of the Australian coast has meant that station codes 601 onwards have been re-ordered compared to those in earlier versions of the PSMSL data set.Documentation added 1996-03-28

Broome 680/497 RLR(1996) is 14.94m below "Tidal BM"Documentation added 2011-10-20
From information from both the National Tidal Centre and Geoscience Australia it appears that the datum reference for Broome has been changed from Tide Gauge Zero (TGZ) to Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT). Lat is 0.86m below TGZ and 5.322 below the national datum AHD. To accommodate the change the RLR factor has been revised from 2.4m to 1.54m.Documentation added 2019-01-23
