Solid Earth tide and Arctic oceanic loading tide at Longyearbyen (Spitsbergen)

The three components of the indirect ocean effect are calculated for the M/sub 2/, K/sub 1/ and O/sub 1/ waves and compared with the observed Earth tide. The vertical component of the near Arctic oceanic load explains fairly well the large 45 degrees observed phase lag of M/sub 2/. The results for t...

Description
Summary:The three components of the indirect ocean effect are calculated for the M/sub 2/, K/sub 1/ and O/sub 1/ waves and compared with the observed Earth tide. The vertical component of the near Arctic oceanic load explains fairly well the large 45 degrees observed phase lag of M/sub 2/. The results for the horizontal components are satisfactory; the discrepancies between different tiltmeters are not due to the oceanic perturbations (unless some local or cavity effects are supposed).
