Abstract

In two earlier papers (Brahde 1988, 1989) the atmospheric tide in Oslo (Norway) was studied using pressure data for 23 continuous years. In the present paper a similar study based on pressure data from Batavia (now Jakarta in Indonesia, latitude 6�08'S, longitude 106�45'E) is presented. The result is that the tidal wave caused by the lunisolar tide is represented by a one-day and a half-day oscillation with mean amplitudes of 0 �11 and 0�33 mb respectively. The amplitude spectrum reveals amplitudes of up to 1 mb of dynamiC origin. The 'thermal' tide is also studied and the connection between the thermal and dynamic effects is discussed.
