Thissetcontainsfreeoscillationsthatdidnotappearinthespectraof previousstudies. Furthermore,theexpansiontowardslongerperiods(165hours) yieldsnewglobalplanetarymodes. Altogether169freeoscillationsarecomputed withperiodslongerthan7. 7hours. Ofthese,71aregravitationalmodes,92areto pographicallycontrolledvorticitymodes,and6areplanetaryvorticitymodes. The in?uenceoftheLSAisinvestigatedforallthreekindsofmodeswithrespectto changesintheperiodsandinthespatialstructureoftheseasurfaceelevationand thehorizontalmasstransports. Inparticular,formodesinthesemi diurnalanddi urnalperiodrange,theparameterizationoftheLSAisanalyzed.
