Abstract

Forty-seven days of hourly sea level and atmospheric pressure data collected in 1848 at Port Leopold, N.W.T., are analyzed using modern time series computation techniques. Tidal analysis reveals a mixed tide but mainly semi-diurnal. A detailed analysis of the tidal data reveals that the time-keeping of the record was as good as today's standard. A high correlation between hourly sea level and atmospheric pressure data demonstrates the inverse barometric effect.Key words: Arctic, sea level, tide, ice cover, free oscillation, lowpass, scatter diagram, time series, Resolute, Port Leopold
