Atmospheric Tides, Solar And Lunar Effects
Scientific paper
Lunar and solar atmospheric tidal oscillations have been determined with satisfactory accuracy from 17 years 11 months of mean sea-level barometric pressure observations taken at Nandi, Fiji. In many respects, the results are consistent with previous tidal determinations in the south-west Pacific region, although these are few and widely scattered. However, the mean annual amplitude of the lunar tide at Nandi, as determined in this study, ˜88 μb, is much greater than might have been expected from currently available global amplitude maps. Nevertheless, the probable correctness of this result has been confirmed by the analysis of nearly 6 years of similar data from Nausori (˜130 km E.S.E. of Nandi), which yielded a mean annual lunar amplitude of ˜88 μb, compared with a Nandi amplitude of ˜83 μb for a closely corresponding period.
