Tidal Sea Level Oscillations in the Sea of Azov
Journal: Oceanology
Year: 2022

Longterm hourly data from 14 coastal tide gauges are used to study the features of tides in the Sea of Azov. The spectral analysis shows the presence of well-defined spectral peaks at tidal diurnal and semidiurnal frequencies. Harmonic analysis of tides for the individual annual sea level series followed by vector averaging over the entire observation period was applied to estimate the mean amplitudes and phases of 11 tidal constituents. The amplitude of the major diurnal harmonics is generally
