In order to improve the accuracy of the estimated oceanic tidal loading effects at Syowa Station, and some of bared areas along Lutzow-holm Bay, Antarctica, we made a detailed coastline data set. The coastline data, grid size of which corresponds to so-called 4 th mesh (1.5"×2.25"grids) of the GOTIC2 software, are read from 1/25, 000 scale maps around Syowa Station over a 1.5 degrees by 1.5 degrees area. Using this data set and the NA0 .99b ocean tide model, we calculated oceanic tidal effects for gravity (GV), radial displacement (RD), and horizontal displacement (HD) at Syowa Station and nearby areas . At Syowa Station, obtained amplitudes and phases of M2, S2, 01, and K1 waves for GV are (2.302, iGa1, 351.38 deg.), (1.585μGal, 1.39 deg.), (2.504μGal, 349.14 deg.) and (1.953μGal, 352.33 deg.), respectively. The amplitude of RD and HD at Syowa Station are 56 mm and 14 mm, respectively, while the rela tive amplitudes of RD and HD between Syowa Station and Skalen, one of the GPS observation sites at the bared areas, are 8 mm and 1.3 mm, respectively. Newly estimated gravity effects will allow us to get accurate tidal admittance for the superconducting gravimeter observa tions at Syowa Station. The result also shows that the oceanic tidal effects on VLBI and/or GPS observations are not negligible, if the observation points are near the sea .
