The format of the dataset are as follows:
Intermediate product (GLA14-WaterLevel) are named using the coordinates of the bottom left corner and the data is presented as:
Latitude Longitude Elevation Time of observation i_water i_adj.
Final Inland Water level database (Final) are named using the same convention of the intermediate product and the data is stored as .csv file is presented as:
Latitude, Longitude, Time of observation, mean elevation of observations, median elevations of observations, standard deviation, no of observations per transect.
The source codes, written in Matlab, are supplied if users want to reprocess the intermediate product with an alternative outlier removal method.
