Abstract
The paper describes the seasonal and interannual changes in sea level in the China Sea. The six long-period tidal constituents (Sa, Ssa, Mm, Mf, MSf and MN) which are closely related to sea level changes have been analyzed, and the distributions of these constituents are also discussed in this paper. The results show that the harmonic constants of Sa and Ssa determined from observations may be predominated by meteorological factors and Sa is the greatest among all the long-period constituents. The amplitude of MN is about 3 cm.
