Short summary
A new method is presented to analyse coastal tide-gauge recordings in the period range typical of local seiches, coastal shelf resonances and tsunamis. The method computes the instantaneous slope IS, the reconstructed sea level (RSL), and the control function (CF), that are shown to follow the Student's t distribution (IS and RSL) and the Beta distribution (CF) functions. As an example, the method is applied to data from the tide-gauge station of Syracuse, Italy.
