Notes

Abstract:
The continuous series of sea level at Key West,Florida commenced in 1913, but we have discovered sporadic measuremenets that date back to 1846. From records at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, the sea level series has been connected to a Summary (common) Datum. Thus, a gappy record of monthly and annual mean heights (H[t]), perhaps the United States' longest series over San Francisco (ca. 1854) or New York (ca. 1856), can be tested to ascertain if the rise in relative sea level at this site is stationary.
