Two-Hour Sea Level Oscillations in Halifax Harbour by Dan Kelley, Clark Richards, Ruby Yee, Alex Hay, Knut Klingbeil, Phillip MacAulay, Ruth Musgrave

“…We explore the nature of the oscillations as a first step towards the improvement of prediction schemes for sea level and currents in the region. This involves an analysis of the oscillations in the context of seiche and Helmholtz resonance theories and the use of a 2D numerical model to handle realistic bathymetric conditions and other complications that the simpler theories cannot address. …”
