A tidal and sea level survey was begun in Yaquina Bay, Oregon,
on 8 May, 1964. A continuous recording tide gage was installed at
the pier of the Oregon State University Marine Science Center.
An harmonic analysis of the observed data was made, and the
major tidal constants were compared with those published by the
Coast and Geodetic Survey. A program was written for the IBM 1410
computer, so that the tide could be predicted at any time using the
tidal constants for the Newport area. An investigation of the
"meteorological tide" was made by comparison of the predicted and
observed tides. River stage, sea level variation, barometric pressure,
and wind were considered.
Lastly, a comparison was made between the predicted tide at
Newport and the predicted maxima and minima of the tide at Newport
as determined using the Coast and Geodetic Survey's tide table. / Graduation date: 1965
