Tidal loading in Nova Scotia: results from improved ocean tide models
A re-examination of tilt and gravity observations from Nova Scotia in light of recent ocean tide studies confirms previous assertions that the M 2 tide in the western North Atlantic Ocean is intermediate between the numerical models of Tiron, Sergeev, and Michurin, and of Zahel.Tilt calculations, us...
