- These stations are no longer active, no recent data is available to conduct analysis.
- These stations have strong non-tidal influences normally caused by short-term meteorological events. Such areas are difficult to predict accurately.
- These stations have tidal ranges in excess of 20 feet. Although differences between predictions and observations may be greater than 1 foot, this difference represents less than 5% of the total range of the station.
