Abstract
Parameterization schemes for single islands, island chains and archipelagos are described. It is shown that their utilization within the framework of a global tidal model leads not only to local peculiarities in the spatial structure of tidal characteristics, but also to cardinal restructuring of the tidal pattern far beyond the islands and an appreciable increase (about 0.5·1012W) of the global tidal energy dissipation. The latter is commensurable by the order of magnitude with the imbalance between estimates of tidal energy dissipation in the World Ocean as a whole and on the continental shelf.
