Description of Sea Level Table

The University of Hawaii Sea Level Center (UHSLC) operated the "fast" delivery center and used its own station numbering system. The "delayed mode" centre at the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) used the international numbering system of the IOC's Global Sea-level Observing System (GLOSS).
