New computer software that permits more versatility in the harmonic analysis of tidal time series has been recently developed and tested. We have compiled a partial list of these peculiarities and would appreciate further information from you. However, if you encounter any problems please contact Mike Foreman at Some of the FORTRAN compilers on workstations may require specific options (e.g., to ensure that variables are saved via the ENTRY points in subroutines). They seem to be fairly free of bugs, as they have been used at a number of sites for some time. The programs are written in FORTRAN 77 and have been compiled and run on a variety of platforms such as PCs, VAX mainframes, and several types of UNIX workstations. For time series less than six months, we recommend that you read the manual sections describing inference. For time series less than 18.6 years and greater than one year, we recommend that you perform a series of sequential yearly analyses. If your time series are longer than 18.6 years, other programs (not provided here) are available upon request. The analysis programs are designed for time series of up to one year in duration. Program output from the sample input should be identical to the results listed in various manual appendices. As listed below, the original package consists of five source-code programs, nine associated sample input files and three manuals. The IOS Tidal Package is a set of programs, manuals, and test data for analysing and predicting tidal elevation and/or current time series.
