" DOC_047: "Comment : The residuals (observed data minus predicted tides) " DOC_048: " are very noisy, probably due to shallow water and " DOC_049: " complex coastal geometry effects that are not " DOC_050: " resolved by the harmonic analysis. The hourly " DOC_051: " data may also contain periods with timing errors " DOC_052: " which are not offset by increments of one hour; " DOC_053: " however, these periods are not identifiable due to " DOC_054: " the large fluctuations in the residuals from the " DOC_055: " unresolved harmonic analysis. The period Feb-Mar " DOC_056: " 1991 shows phase drift in the timing. Otherwise, " DOC_057: " the daily and monthly values are reasonable and " DOC_058: " do not reveal any obvious reference level shifts.
