Abstract
By use of the hydrodynamic model, the harmonic constants of 8 principal tid al constituents (Q(1), O-1, P-1, K-1, N-2, M-2, S-2 and K-2) are obtained f or the East China Sea, and the harmonic constant of S-a is calculated by tw o-dimensional interpolation. The calculated results agree well with the obs erved data around the sea. The harmonic constants can be used to predict th e tide in the East China Sea. The cotidal charts of the 9 tidal constituent s reveal their distribution.
