| Abstract: | Analysis of monthly means of sea level averaged over a period of three years (1991-1993) at Jeddah reveals the presence of a semi-annual component in addition to the annual one. The variance explained by the two components are 20 % and 78% respectively. Their respective amplitudes are 8.7 and 17.3 cm. The two cycles are induced by the combined effect of wind stress and evaporation rate. The cross-shore stress is the most contributing factor to the annual variation of the sea level. In contrast the long-shore stress is the dominant factor in inducing the semi-annual cycle. The evaporation contributes more to the semi-annual component of the sea level than to the annual one. |
