Abstract

The local air pressure series at Potsdam for the period 19741–990 is investigated with respect to persistent diurnal and semidiurnal waves as they appear in the gravity tides. The parameters of the diurnal air pressure waves show much more temporal variations than the semidiurnal ones. In that way gravity tidal waves near to the solar day may be influenced too.
