4. Analysis of the Earth ti<strong>de</strong> frequency ranges<br />

The Earth ti<strong>de</strong> bands inclu<strong>de</strong> waves with periods between 8 hours and 28 days. With the Earth ti<strong>de</strong> data processing<br />

package ETERNA34, the preprocessing and analysis of Earth ti<strong>de</strong> observations, the prediction of Earth ti<strong>de</strong> signals<br />

and the computation of ocean ti<strong>de</strong> loading are possible. The adjustment of the tidal parameters is based on the least<br />

squares method. Results are the amplitu<strong>de</strong> factors δ and phase differences α. The amplitu<strong>de</strong> factors δ for the tidal<br />

wave groups are calcu<strong>la</strong>ted by the equation:
