Daily high and low observed data compared with predicted tide height
Datum is mean low water (MLW)
Heights in meters
Green symbols are deviation (+) or (-) from predicted tide height
The datum and mean values for the two sites (Inlet and Pier) are different,
and these differences, especially the mean tide range (MN), affect the
character
of the records. Specifically, more events from the Pier records
approach or
exceed 1.5 m above mean low water, although they generally are within 0.5
m
of the predicted tide height.
