Dataset #1
Dataset Name: PSMSL
Dataset Version:
Dataset Description: The PSMSL receives monthly and annual mean values of sea level from almost 200 national authorities, distributed around the world, responsible for sea level monitoring in each country or region. Data from each station are entered directly as received from the authority into the PSMSL raw data file for that station (usually called the METRIC file in PSMSL publications). The monthly and annual means so entered for any one year are necessarily required to be measured to a common datum, although, at this stage, datum continuity between years is not essential. While the PSMSL makes every attempt to spot inconsistent or erroneous data, the responsibility for the monthly and annual means entered into the METRIC files in this way is entirely that of the supplying authority. A description of data checks routinely made by the PSMSL is given below and in Woodworth, Spencer and Alcock (1990) and IOC (1992).
