Discussion of error resulting from sea-air interaction in results of harmonic analysis of the tides

Abstract

       The paper analyses the selectivity of the basic formula of the method harmonic analysis of the tides considering the length of the sea-level time-series. It is demonstrated that the method for sufficiently long time-series eliminates the error resulting from sea-air inter­action. In the discussion the sufficient condition is given to consider a stochastic signal result­ing from sea-air interaction as a continuous stationary stochastic process in the sea-level time-series.
