This Web site keeps the copy of the CD-ROM with the HW95 tidal potential catalogue (Hartmann T. and Wenzel H.-G., 1995, "The HW95 Tidal Potential Catalogue", Geophys., Res. Lett., vol. 22, pp. 3353-3556) which was distributed by Hans-Georg Wenzel. These data were made available on-line with permission of Marion Wenzel.

The tidal catalogue has 12935 tidal waves containing 19300 adjusted coefficients. The HW95 tidal potential catalogue has been computed using the DE200 numerical ephemeris of Jet Propulsion Laboratories, Pasadena, of the solar system bodies between 1850 and 2150. The computation has been carried out by an iterative procedure combining spectral analysis and least squares adjustment. The HW95 tidal potential catalogue has been validated using different gravity tide benchmark series. The error of gravity tides computed at mid latitude stations from HW95 is 0.0015 nm/s² = 0.15 ngal rms and 0.010 nm/s² = 1.0 ngal at maximum between years 1850 and 2150.
