Description:
This is a small subset of 12 long-term tide stations on the California Coast. The elevations of Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), Mean Low Water (MLW), Mean Sea Level (MSL), Mean High Water (MHW), and Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) are given fore each station. Each station has at least 30 years of records, sufficient for some trend analysis and for performing a frequency analysis on the tide elevations.
