The updated datums for Cook Inlet are based on an MSL datum computed from the five year period 1994-1998 and tidal ranges based on the current 1960-78 NTDE.
This change in datums is due to the combination of a number of factors including different rates of land movement throughout the area, different time series from which the old accepted datums were computed, and different control stations used to adjust the old series to the 1960-78 NTDE.
NOAA is integrating these datum changes into the processing of the ongoing NOAA hydrographic surveys in Cook Inlet so that the updated NOAA nautical charts for the area will contain soundings that take the new tidal datum updates into account.
