Short summary
This work investigates the seasonal variations of M2, S2, K1, and O1 at E2 and Dalian. At E2, the M2 amplitude and phase lag reach maximum in summer and minimum in winter. The S2 and K1 amplitudes show annual cycles, while the phase lags of S2, K1, and O1 had semi-annual cycles. The seasonal variations at Dalian are different from those at E2, except for M2 phase lag. The seasonal variations at E2 are induced by seasonality of vertical eddy viscosity, while those at Dalian cannot be explained.
