exact location of the amphidromic point of the North Atlantic Ocean.
These results have to be considered together with those obtained in
England, Norway, Iceland, Greenland and Spitsbergen, in relation with
the available cotidal charts of the Atlantic Ocean.
ABSTRACT
In the first part (in Danish) there is given a short description of the
Earth Tide problem and the factors involved. In the second part (in
English) are presented the development of the work of the International
Centre of Earth Tides for 1974 and the Establishment of the Trans World
Tidal Gravity Profile, of which station 0821 Faeroe is a member.
The preliminary results for station 0821 Faeroe show that the Diurnal
waves are not very much disturbed, while the Semi-Diurnal waves are
considerably affected by oceanic tidal loading effects, all compared with
continental stations.

ÚRTAK
í fyrra parti (á donskum) verður í stuttum greitt frá fyribrigdinum
flóð og fjøra á landi og luttøkutáttunum. 1 seinna parti (á enskum) er
sagt frá hvussu arbeiðið hjá »International Center of Earth Tide« í 1974
tók seg upp og frá stovnsetingini av »Trans World Tidal Gravity Profile«
har sum Føroyar eru limur í støðini 0821.
Fyribils úrslitini frá støðini 0821 Faroe vísa at samdøgursaldurnar eru
ikki nógv órógvaðar, meðan hálv-samdøgurs aldurnar eru munandi ávirk-
aðar av tyngingini av flóð og fjøru í havinum, alt samanborið við støðir
inni á meginlandinum.
