Manual of harmonic analysis and prediction of tides

---

This volume was designed primarily as & working manual for use in the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey and describes the procedure used in this ofiice for the harmonic analysis and prediction of tides and tidal currents. It is based largely upon the works of Sir William Thomson, Prof. George H. Darwin, and Dr. Rollin A. Harris. In recent years there also has been considerable work done on this subject by Dr. A. T. Doodson, of the Tidal Institute of the University of Liverpool. The first edition of the present work was published in 1924. In this revised edition there has been a rearrangement of the material in the first part of the volume to bring out more clearly the development of the tidal forces. Tables of astronomical data and other tables to facilitate the computations have been retained with a few revisions and additions and there has been added a list of symbols used in the work. The collection of tidal harmonic constants for the world that appeared in the earlier edition has been omitted altogether because the work of maintaining such a list has now been taken over by the International Hydrographic Bureau at Monaco. These constants are now published in International Hydrographic Bureau Special Publication No. 26, which consists of a collection of loose sheets which permit the addition of new constants as they become available. Special acknowledgment is due Walter B. Zerbe, associate mathematician of the Division of Tides and Currents, who reviewed the manuscript of this edition and offered many valuable suggestions.
