Meaning of columns in table below

ID

PSMSL's station number. Clicking on an ID links to data held by PSMSL for this station.

It is well worth looking at the notes that PSMSL holds for a station before accepting the numbers. For example the notes for Cromer say

Complete station flagged as suspect

Station Name
Clicking on a station name links to a page which shows a graph with
  • monthly observations
  • trend line
  • DEFRA predictions
And a separate graph showing unadjusted observations (explained below).
Completeness

Most stations have some months with missing observations. In the case of Sheerness there are gaps of 50 years!. Completeness indicates the percentage of months which have observations betwee Start Year and End Year.

Each monthly observation is actually the average value of daily observations for that month. Sometimes daily observations are missing. This is NOT indicated by Completeness.
