Résumé

Oscillation modes in mean sea level in the port of Cadiz are computed and analyzed from simultaneous water level and atmospheric pressure records. Empirical Orthogonal Function Decomposition (EOF), cross spectral and least square harmonic analysis are used. EOF is applied in an unusual way in order to extract common oscillation modes of atmospheric pressure and Mean Sea Level (MSL) series. In spite of the short length of time series, less than four months, EOF is a very powerful tool and makes possible the isolation of astronomical and meteorological oscillation modes.
