Caractéristiques spatiales de la formation des surcotes marines dans le Golfe du Lion. Spatial charcateristics of sea-surges formation in the Gulf of Lions

This paper is based on the analysis of hourly tide measurements at four tide gauges stations around the Gulf of Lions: Marseille, Grau-de-la-Dent, Sète and Port-Vendres. For each tidal value, surge heights have been determined to keep only the atmospheric forcing on the level of the Sea. The aim is...
