referenced to North American Datum of 1983, Trenton City, Mercer
County, NJ, Hydrologic Unit 02040201, on concrete wall facing west over
the Delaware River, near Trenton Marine Terminal on Lamberton Road,
approximately 0.2 mi south of the intersection with State Route

PERIOD OF RECORD.--Continuous-record tide station, water years
1921-46, 1951-55, 1957-92, 2019 to current year. Annual maximum tide
gage, water years 1997-2018.
REVISIONS HISTORY.--WDR US-2010: 1997-2009(M).
GAGE.--Tide elevation and water temperature recorders with
telemetry and tidal crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is at 0.00 ft NAVD
of 1988. Prior to October 1996, datum of gage was at 0.00 ft NGVD of
1929. Data published to NGVD of 1929 can be adjusted to NAVD of 1988 by
subtracting 1.05 ft. Online peaks have been adjusted to current
datum.
REMARKS.--Periods of missing data are noted by dashed (---)
lines. Annual peak stages at this gage may be due to riverine or tidal
conditions.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.--Maximum elevation, 16.8 ft
(adjusted to NAVD of 1988), Aug 20, 1955.

Weather station data are available from this location at this
link.
The weather data for this station are
temporary and will only be displayed for 120 days. Although the
instrumentation is calibrated at least once/year, the temporary
classification means that documented routine inspections and other
quality assurance measures are not performed that would make the data
acceptable for archival, retrieval, or future use in general scientific
or interpretive studies.
