Summary:

"Long tidal series in the Golden Gate area of California have been observed at four different locations. These include Fort Point (1854-1877), Sausalito (1877-1897) and Presidio (two locations1897- present). This report describes the procedures used to relate the tidal heights from the three locations to a common reference zero for the entire time period 1854-present. This has enabled one continuous time series to be constructed. From this time series, analyses of seasonal and long term variations in sea level and of the observed extremes in high and low water levels are possible. Preliminary results of this effort were reported by Smith (1980)"--Introduction
