I. Discussion of tide-observations at Bristol

Abstract

This Paper contains the results of a Discussion of about 19,000 observations of Times and Heights of High Water at Bristol, for the purpose of obtaining the Empirical Laws of the Diurnal Inequalities of the Times and Heights, and of the Solar Inequality of the Times, of the tides at that port. Curves on Diagrams which accompany the Paper exhibit the results. The Observations were taken by a Self-registering Tide-Gauge, the Clock of which has from the first been regulated by transit observation.
