Abstract
The mean tide situation in and along the southeastern North Sea, i.e. the German Bight, is presented in three different ways: (1) the actual situation, especially the varying mean sea level levels, (2) water levels since AD 600, with precise data from 1850 onwards, (3) mean high water, mean low water, and mean sea level variations and trends. For the nearly tideless western Baltic Sea mean sea level variations are given since 1826.
