Notice: CO-OPS recently determined that water level data from St Helens (9439201) contained an error due to the conversion of pressure to water level in our database. This error resulted in water level measurements several centimeters higher than actual. Impacted water level products from March 27, 2002 to August 4, 2021 have now been corrected, including 6-minute water level data, hourly heights, highs/lows, monthly means, and tidal datums. Any data products downloaded from this time will need to be re-downloaded. Water level products from August 4, 2021 to present, including real-time data, were not impacted. If you have any questions, please send an email to Tide.Predictions@noaa.gov and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Datums for 9439201, St Helens OR

Columbia River Datum Columbia River Datum (CRD) is the adopted fixed low water reference plane for this area. CRD is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers non-tidal datum defined at distinct river miles relative to NAVD88, and is used as chart datum above river mile 23 on the Columbia River. Datums are computed using observations from the low river stages of the year, generally August through October due to the masking of the tidal signal from strong seasonal river runoff during other portions of the year. Depending on river flow, water levels can be significantly higher than Columbia River Datum. As of 2014, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers provided updated offsets for CRD that have been applied to this station. Station Datum (STND) is no longer set equal to CRD.
NOTICE: All data values are relative to the MLLW.
