GCE-LTER Data Set Summary

Accession: HYD-GCES-0508b Research Theme: Hydrography/Hydrology (Synthesis)
Contributor: Wade M. Sheldon Jr.
Title: Monthly sea-level summary data for the Fort Pulaski, Georgia, water level station (NOAA/NOS CO-OPS ID 8670870) from 01-Jul-1935 to 30-Jun-2006
Abstract: Monthly mean water levels based on MLLW (mean lower low water) datum in meters were acquired from the NOAA/NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services web site (http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/) for station ID 8670870 (Fort Pulaski, Georgia). Selected date/time and data columns were extracted from the CO-OPS web pages, standardized and documented using GCE-LTER metadata templates. This data set covers the period from 01-Jul-1935 to 30-Jun-2006
