对潮汐节律的研究涉及沉积学、时间序列分析和天文学，有助于了解地球自转和月球轨道的历史。因此，令人遗憾的是，Mazumder 和 Arima (2005) 的论文 [Mazumder R., Arima M., 2005。潮汐韵律及其含义。地球科学。 Rev. 69, 79–95.] 关于潮汐节律及其影响的内容包含方法论错误和未经证实的猜测，可能会造成混淆和误导。此外，与 Mazumder 和 Arima (2005，第 79 页) 的介绍性陈述相反 [Mazumder, R., Arima M., 2005。潮汐韵律及其含义。地球科学。 Rev. 69, 79–95.]尽管古代潮汐节律的分析“并不简单”，但分析不必复杂。然而，如果韵律原始数据质量差并且基本天文定律被误用，就会出现问题。这些缺点可以在正在讨论的论文中找到。
The study of tidal rhythmites, involving sedimentology, time-series analysis and astronomy, can contribute to understanding the history of the Earth's rotation and the Moon's orbit. It is regrettable, therefore, that the paper by Mazumder and Arima (2005) [Mazumder R., Arima M., 2005. Tidal rhythmites and their implications. Earth-Sci. Rev. 69, 79–95.] on tidal rhythmites and their implications contains errors of methodology and unsubstantiated speculation that could confuse and mislead. Moreover, contrary to the introductory statement of Mazumder and Arima (2005, p. 79) [Mazumder, R., Arima M., 2005. Tidal rhythmites and their implications. Earth-Sci. Rev. 69, 79–95.] that the analysis of ancient tidal rhythmites “is not straightforward”, the analysis need not be complicated. Problems will arise, however, if the rhythmite raw data are of poor quality and basic astronomical laws are misapplied. Such shortcomings are to be found in the paper under discussion.
