Theorie zur Errechnung des Wasserstandes und der Strömungen in Randmeeren nebst Anwendungen

Abstract

For the detection of non-stationary movements in the ocean there exists, at present, no theory that could by observation stand a test with regard to its practical applicability. As there is available an abundant material of sea-level- and current observations from the marginal and adjacent seas and as in such areas maximum values of movements occur, the study of which deserves a special practical interest, a method is developed for determining the movements in such areas; morever, the results of a numerical computation of an especially heavy storm surge (Holland-Orkan) and of the tides in an estuary (the Ems river) are discussed. By combining these results with numerical weather prediction it is, in principle, possible to carry out numerical prediction of sea level.
