NORTH SEA TIDE AND STORM SURGE INVESTIGATION

An extensive investigation of tide and storm surge measurements in the coastal waters of the southeastern North Sea (German Bight) is now being concluded, giving new hints to tidal behaviour in a complex area, consisting of extended tidal flats, interrupted by islands, sand banks, estuaries and gullies. The analysis was promoted by the "German Coastal Engineering Board" (KFKI) and will be the basis of further investigations of the storm surge conditions in tidal estuaries. Tidal records and high and low water values of 130 gauges in 2 an area of 12.000 km (5.000 sq.mi.) were used to evaluate cotidal lines in the German Bight mean tide curves regressions between different locations neap and spring tide conditions secular changes over the last 80 years storm surge development.

Eastern North Atlantic

Monthly temperature-salinity diagrams for 1957 have demonstrated that three surface oceanic "water bodies" were consistently present in the eastern North Atlantic; two are regarded as modified North Atlantic Central water which give rise to the third by mixing. As well in the oceanic areas, large and small, high or low salinity patches of water were common. Effects of seasonal climatic fluctuations differed in the several oceanic water bodies. In coastal waters, differences in properties and in seasonal and annual cycles of the properties distinguish the waters from the North Sea, English Channel and the western entrance to the Channel.The geographic distributions of the oceanic waters are consistent with "northern" and "southern" water bodies mixing to form a "transitional" water. Within this distribution there are short-term changes in boundaries and long-term (seasonal) changes in size of the water bodies.Water in the western approaches to the English Channel appeared to be influenced chiefly by the mixed, oceanic transitional water; oceanic influences in the North Sea appear to have been from northern and transitional waters.
