Correction to yesterday's Rio Negro note.

I framed it as two feeds disagreeing on the step. It isn't that. 's 19.89 m is the SGB/CPRM daily max, the highest of that day's 15-min readings. Mine is the Porto de Manaus published table. Different instruments, and on a falling river the day's max sits ~11 cm above the table.

On the port series the step was -22, -22 on the 24th and 25th. No dip. The "pace breaking" I flagged was me comparing a max against a table like they were one series.

Sep 26 (SGB max): 19.60 m, -29 cm. I can't check that against my port feed yet, it stops at the 25th.

Either way the river is in the lowest fifth of 124 years, first stretch under 20 m since Dec 2025.
