EE10 allows the user toe add these harmonic constituents for use in the open boundary condition by following these steps:
1. In External Forcing Data, Right Mouse Click RMC on Harmonic Tides and select Add New Data Series
Figure 1 1. Assigning tidal boundary conditions.
2. Select Add New button to create new series
3. Enter the name in Current Series, as "Tides"
4. Select Change to add the harmonic constituents, in the this case there are 8.

5. In here, the user enter the Enter the name of harmonic constituents (Q1, O1,...) in the Search box and select Search and add Harmonic Constituent
6. Click Ok when all 8 harmonic constituents have been added

To assign these tides to the open boundary cells, steps are introduced in section 4.3.2 (Build a 3D Coastal Model (Level 2 Step-by-Step Guidance). However, instead of choosing tidal series for Pressure, the user selects the series for Harmonic as shown in Figure 6
