Abstract
The current study focuses on the analysis of observed sea level in the northern delta coast, which is considered the most important region in Egypt. The used sea-level data are records of three tide gauge stations located on the north of the delta, on Alexandria, Damietta, and Port Said. Different periods of sea-level records had been used to be analyzed to get the astronom- ical tide and surge heights. Geotide software had been used to obtain the tidal harmonic constituents. The tidal cycle sort at the three locations of the tide gauges had been calculated and the results were as follows: a mixed semidiurnal tidal type in Alexandria and Damietta, and a semidiurnal tidal type in Port Said. The Mean Sea Level (MSL), referred to the Egyptian Survey Authority datum (ESA-1906), had been calculated, and the tidal datums of each station referred to the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF-2014) had been calculated else. Ten groups of tidal constituents had been obtained and two of them have the largest amplitudes and they are M2 (Principal lunar), S2 (Principal solar). The amplitudes and percentages of astronomical tide and surge, in the observed sea level data, will be shown in the results section.
