The venice data frame has 51 rows and 2 columns.

Pirazzoli (1982) collected the ten largest values of sea levels in Venice (with a few exceptions) for the years 1887–1981. The venice data frame contains the maxima for the years 1931–1981.

Usage

data(venice)

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

year

the years;

sea

the sea levels (in cm).
