TIDAL CONSTANTS FOR McMURDO SOUND, ANTARCTICA

R. A. Heath

New Zealand Oceanographic Institute, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Wellington

Abstract Harmonic constants were evaluated from 30 days' tidal records at a position about 0.25 miles (0.44 km) south of Winter Quarters Bay, McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. The main components are the declinational diurnal constituents Ol and Kl. Comparison of the constants with those previously evaluated from nearby Pram Point (near Scott Base) shows that the amplitudes are smaller at McMurdo Sound, and that the high tide at McMurdo occurs about one hour after that at Scott Base.
