✦ Synopsis

A seiche is a resonant response of a lake or harbour to external forces. Frequency domain methods are used in the identi®cation of seiche like characteristics of sea-level records collected at Sydney and Halifax harbours, Nova Scotia. The data exhibit structures predicted by simple physical seiche models, and there is some evidence that these seiches are responses to tidal forcing.
