Datum of gage changed from 0.69 ft below NGVD 1929, adjustment of 1973 to NAVD 1988, 2001 adjustment, on Oct. 1, 2009. New datum is 0.98 ft above previous datum.
Data are tidally affected -- Astronomical tides cause significant cycles of approximately 24.84 hours at this site. Because a different portion of the 24.84-hour tidal cycle is averaged in successive daily (24-hour) computations, a systematic secondary oscillation, unrelated to basin hydrology and having a period of about two weeks may be apparent in daily data. |
