Ocean tides in the nearby of the Iberian Peninsula. Part II: S2 Iberia map

Abstract

The Iberia S2 map is the second one of the serie that we are drawing up in the oceanic zone close to the Iberian Peninsula, for the main harmonics of the lunisolar potential. As we have commented in the Vieira et al. (1985), we intend to improve the present maps with these ones, specially the Schwiderski's, that have shown to be the closest ones to the observed reality of all those for we have made the calculus of the so called oceanic effect. It's an empiric map, improsing the condition that the correspondent isolines of amplitude and phase must be joined completely to Schwiderski's, in order to avoid death zones or gaps on using the Iberia maps as a complement to Schwiderski's.
