✦ Synopsis

The annual mean sea-level time series for Stockholm (Sweden) for 1825-1984 (160 data points) had a large long-term negative (almost linear, only slightly quadratic) trend. After correcting for the same, the detrended series was subjected to maximum entropy spectral analysis (MESA). Choosing selected periodicities for further multiple regression analysis, series for the first 80 yr showed periodicities at T= 2. 40, 5.0, 6.1, 13.5, 14.8 and 32 yr, significant at a 2 o level. The three largest peaks (italicized) had amplitudes of approximately (2.5-3.0)+0.8 cm.
