Description :
Time series of annual Mean Tidal Range (MTR) have been assembled from 13 ports around the British Isles and secular trends in MTR computed at each site. Trends vary between −1,8 and 1,3 mm/yr depending on location. At many sites the values are significantly non-zero implying different trends in Mean High Waters (MHWs) and Mean Low Waters (MLWs). British, Irish, French, Belgian and perhaps southern Dutch MTR trends seem considerably less than those from the N. Netherlands and the German Bight.
