Temporal variations of the M2 tidal parameters in gravity are observed at all superconducting gravimeter stations. We specifically investigate the annual variation of M2 tidal parameters. A similar variation is observed for the parameters from sea surface heights which is larger than expected from astronomical forcing alone. This leads to the hypothesis that the variations of the gravimetric tidal parameters are caused by the...

The study examines the observed storm-generated sea level variation due to deep depression (event 1: E1) in the Arabian Sea from 26 November to 1 December 2011 and a cyclonic storm "THANE" (event 2: E2) over the Bay of Bengal during 25–31 December 2011. The sea level and surface meteorological measurements collected during these extreme events exhibit strong synoptic disturbances leading to storm surges of up to 43 cm on the w...
