Abstract

Tidal elevation is generating primary by the gravitational forces between earth with moon and solar. Since the sun plays an important role on generating the tidal sea level then the effect of total solar eclipse (TSE) March 9, 2016 on surface water level has been analysed from real time one-minute tide gauge station from Geospatial Information Agency. Two stations was selected to observe the impact of TSE i.e. in coastal of Bangka Island where totally path of TSE was detected and the other is in the coastal Belitung Island, located near to Bangka Island. We compare the observed sea level with the predicted sea level from 9 constituents using Tidal Model Driver (TMD). The result shows that during the TSE in Bangka Island, the observed tidal phase is shifted and observed sea level is higher compare with the prediction one. But in Belitung Island, there is no pattern change of tidal phase and with small increasing sea level compare with the prediction.
