Resumen

The science of tide analysis and prediction reached so high a level of achievement in the early years of this century that there was little change or improvement for about fifty years. However, as electronic computers became both available and more powerful, very significant changes were introduced into virtually all aspects of tide observation, analysis and prediction. By virtue of this author’s service for many years in the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Atlantic Meteorological and Oceanographic Laboratories and, more recently, at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, he has been a participant in many aspects of the changed procedures. His memories of how these changes came about are featured in this paper.
