Abstract Observational aspects of the 40–50-day oscillation are reviewed. The oscillation is
the result of large-scale circulation cells oriented in the equatorial plane that move eastward …

The challenges of supplying accurate tide corrections for satellite altimetry in shelf and near-
coastal environments are reviewed. Relative to the deep ocean, tides in shallow water are …

We have extended our calculation of the theoretical period of the Chandler wobble to
account for the non-hydrostatic portion of the Earth's equatorial bulge and the effect of the …

Oceanography Volume 13 Issue 7 (1983) Jump to Content Jump to Main Navigation Logo Logo …

The unprecedented accuracy of TOPEX/POSEIDON (T/P) altimeter data warrants a new
evaluation of the methods typically used to form time series of sea level change. Whereas …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses ocean tides and reviews the usual mathematical
representations of ocean tides. It reviews the conclusions of the different evaluation tests …

Two 100 km scale arrays of moored upper ocean current meters, one near 0, 152W, the
other near 0, 110W, were used to study the zonal transport of the strong equatorial currents …

A new model of long‐period tidal variations in length of day is developed. The model
comprises 80 spectral lines with periods between 18.6 years and 4.7 days, and it …

Abstract Sea-level fluctuations during 1978–80 at equatorial Pacific islands separated by as
much as one-quarter of the earth's circumference are coherent at periods of 1–6 weeks with …

In the 1970s and 1980s, there was considerable interest in near-equatorial variability at
periods of days to weeks associated with oceanic equatorial inertia–gravity waves and …
