Tidal Data in the North American Arctic

Résumé

Knowledge of tidal conditions is meager and observations are difficult to obtain because of the prevalence of ice, scarcity of inhabited areas, and inaccessibility of the region. Stations are noted with data available for Canadian Arctic Islands waters, arctic coast of Alaska, Hudson Bay and Strait, Baffin Bay-Davis Strait, and east coast of Greenland. Additional stations, long-period observations depth soundings, new techniques are stated to be necessary.
