Abstract
Inconsistencies between datasets are examined with reference to flood tidal elevations in the Tamar
River estuary, Tasmania Australia. Errors in a 30-year-old commonly cited dataset have been
perpetuated in subsequent publications and datasets, and a clarification is herein provided. Elevation
of the flood tidal wave as it propagates the estuary is evident in mean tide level and mean
sea level, although the analysis is compromised by the temporal differences of the datasets. As sea
levels rise due to global warming, the importance of accurate on-going sea level data in any estuary
will become more acute.
