Abstract

To evaluate the effect of external forces on the northern water motion of Adriatic Sea, we calculate the Green’s Function of Laplace’s tidal equation for a simple geometry. As an application, we use known data on sea level variations at various stations, in order to determine the external forces. We then compute the “theoretical” sea level at Venice. Its comparison with “experimental” data taken at Venice gives encouraging results.
