Short summary

We briefly survey numerical methods for computing eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for the Laplace tidal equation. In particular we compare two methods that have numerical or conceptual advantages over the most commonly used methods. MATLAB codes are provided to facilitate their use. Researchers interested in atmospheric tidal analysis or in numerical methods for accurately computing eigenvalues of differential operators may find the paper helpful.
