DOC_038: " 1993 - 1996 data have a stable reference level. "
DOC_039: " The equivalent data received via satellite "
DOC_040: " at the UH was used as the primary source for "
DOC_041: " 1990 through 01 Sep 1992; otherwise, the "

DOC_043: " The site consists of a network of bench marks "

DOC_045: " The series is separate from 021A and 021B because "
DOC_046: " a definative link has not been established between "
DOC_047: " the reference levels of each series. "
DOC_048: " The series for 8/1990 to 27/04/93 were adjusted "
DOC_049: " by adding 120 mm. Another adjustment was made "
DOC_050: " from 16Z 09 April 1997 - 23Z 01 December 1997 by "
DOC_051: " adding 70 cm to the originator's series based "
DOC_052: " on evidence of a jump in the analog roll. "
DOC_053: " These adjustments are uncertain to within a few "

DOC_055: " reasonably well with Valparaiso and Caldera. "
DOC_056: " Based on information provided on geodetic "
