Abstract

The harmonic method of tide prediction is developed to its fullest extent, so that it can deal with tide curves which are so distorted that they have gradient discontinuities. It is better, however, to use a new two-step method known as the method of species concordance. This method is applied to the Gironde, and then to the Loire, where the variation in fresh-water level is important.
