A trans-world tidal gravity profile

Tidal recordings have been made with high-precision equipment at twenty-eight stations in the South East Asia and the South Pacific areas. Each station was occupied for five months or more. Amplitude factors (δ) and phase differences (α) of the principal tidal constituents exhibit a regional behaviour which results from the oceanic-tide interaction. At Alice Springs, Northern Territory, the middle point of Australia, the results based upon nine month's observations fit fairly well the Molodensky theory on the dynamical effects of the liquid core of the earth.
