| The subinertial response of sea level to meteorological forcing in the Gulf of Mexico is examined using observations of sea level, atmospheric pressure and surface wind covering the period 1985-1986. Spectral analysis and multiple regression in the frequency domain methods are employed for data processing. The analysis shows that the atmospheric pressure is the principal forcing agent. The response of sea level to atmospheric pressure is found to be non isostatic and dependent on frequency and geographical location; the response is overisostatic in the north zone and underisostatic in the south zone of the Gulf, approaching isostasy only at stations located in the Cuban coast. The importance of local and remote wind in sea level variability are determined;... |
