Metadata¶

Note

This section has been designed by A. Rovere and D. Ryan

This section describes the fields included in the ‘RSL indicators’,’Elevation measurement’,’Geographic positioning’ and ‘Sea level datums’ files/sheets, created respectively from the ‘rsl_ind’,’vrtmeastech’,’hrzpostech’,’sldatum’ mySQL tables. In the interface, the fields below can be found under ‘Metadata’ page.

Type of RSL indicator¶

Note

In the interface, any data inserted in this section is by default made public. Every user will be able to select the same sea-level indicator

Name of RSL indicator¶

Short name for the RSL indicator.

Description of RSL indicator¶

Detailed descriptions of the RSL indicator.

Description of RWL¶

Description the Reference Water Level. As a reference, see Table 1 in Khan et al., 2017. For example, use (HAT to MSL)/2 for an index point having the Highest Astronomical Tide and Mean Sea Level as, respectively, upper and lower limits of the indicative meaning.

Description of IR¶

Description of the Indicative Range. As a reference, see Table 1 in Khan et al., 2017. For example, use HAT to MSL for an index point having the Highest Astronomical Tide and Mean Sea Level as, respectively, upper and lower limits of the indicative meaning.
