1.1 Tidal Measurement
several journal articles. One article[1] emphasizes the importance of understanding the
spatiotemporal landscape dynamics and spread pathways of tidal channels for coastal wetland
management. Another article[2] explains that tides can play an important role in the mitigation of
pollution in water, as tidal waves help prevent the accumulation of silts and sediments. The
article also highlights the importance of tides in power generation, as the various characteristics
of tides can be utilized to generate electricity more efficiently than other sources.
Tidal currents in different regions have unique characteristics, and understanding them is
important for navigation, construction, and scientific research[3]. Another article[4] emphasizes
that changes in tidal properties have important implications for coastal communities, and it is
crucial to understand these changes. Spatial and temporal variability in tidal range is also
important to understand for coastal management and planning[5]. Finally, an article[6] reviews
comprehensively the nonastronomical changes in tidal properties, their driving mechanisms, and
future implications.
Tidal measurement is relevant in various fields, including commercial and recreational fishing,
coastal zone engineering projects, habitat restoration projects, and scientific research[7].
Engineers require accurate knowledge of tide and current conditions to monitor fluctuating tide
levels for projects involving the construction, demolition, or movement of large structures[7].
Ecologists focus on the tidal mixing of near-shore waters, where pollutants are removed and
nutrients are recirculated[7]. Tidal currents also move floating animals and plants to and from
breeding areas in estuaries to deeper waters[7]. Scientists use historical tide gauge data to
estimate global sea level rise since the industrial revolution, which is a powerful indicator of both
the trajectory and impact of anthropogenic climate change[8]. Tide gauges also capture a variety
of oceanic and geodetic phenomena at many time and space scales, such as tides, storm surge,
swell energy, and shelf waves, which are necessary for studying high-frequency coastal
processes[8]. Terrestrial tides are important for radio astronomy and calculating coordinates on a
global positioning system (GPS). Volcanologists study terrestrial tides because this movement in
the Earth's crust can sometimes trigger a volcanic eruption. Finally, scientists use satellite
magnetometers to derive tidal magnetic fields[10], and tide gauges are instruments that measure
coastal sea level relative to the land on which they are installed[10].
Tidal phenomena refer to the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the
gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun on the Earth[1][11]. The gravitational pull
of the Moon is the major tidal constituent, and the closer objects are, the greater the gravitational
force between them[1]. The Earth's rotation relative to the equilibrium ocean surface, which
bulges toward the Moon on one side and away from the Moon on the other side, causes the daily
tidal cycle[11]. The tidal forces due to the Moon and the Sun generate very long waves that
travel all around the ocean following the paths shown in co-tidal charts[11]. The time when the
crest of the wave reaches a port then gives the time of high water at the port[11]. Most tides are
semidiurnal, which means they take place twice a day[1]. High tide is when water advances to its
furthest extent onto the shoreline, while low tide is when it recedes to its furthest extent[12].
Tidal phenomena are important in various fields, including commercial and recreational fishing,
coastal zone engineering projects, habitat restoration projects, scientific research, radio

the Moon.

● Other variables: The angle of the Moon, the angle of the Sun, and other factors can
Tidal gauges are instruments used to measure the height of the ocean's surface relative to a fixed
point on land[16]. These measurements are important for understanding sea level changes and
predicting the impact of sea level rise on coastal communities[17]. There are several types of
tidal gauges, including acoustic, pressure, radar, and float gauges[18]. Each type has its own
Acoustic gauges use sound waves to measure the distance between the gauge and the ocean's
surface. They are highly accurate and can measure sea level changes to within a few millimeters.
inexpensive and require little maintenance. However, they are less accurate than acoustic gauges
Radar gauges use radar waves to measure the distance between the gauge and the ocean's
surface. They are highly accurate and can measure sea level changes to within a few millimeters.
Float gauges use a float that is attached to a fixed point on land. As the ocean's surface rises and
falls, the float moves up and down, allowing the height of the ocean's surface to be measured.
They are relatively inexpensive and require little maintenance. However, they are less accurate
than other types of gauges and can be affected by waves and currents[18].
Recent advancements in tidal measurement technology include the use of satellite altimetry,
which can measure sea level changes over large areas of the ocean. This technology has greatly
improved our understanding of global sea level rise[17]. Another recent advancement is the
development of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that can collect data on ocean currents
Data collection methods for tidal measurement can vary depending on the location and purpose
of the study. One common method is the use of tide gauges, which measure the height of the
water surface relative to a fixed point on land[1]. Other methods include acoustic Doppler
current profilers (ADCPs), which measure water velocity and direction, and remote sensing
techniques such as satellite altimetry[21]. Data processing and quality control are important steps
in ensuring the accuracy of tidal data. One technique for processing tidal data is least squares
analysis, which can handle random data and is commonly used in tidal analysis[21]. Quality
control measures can include checking for outliers and correcting for instrument drift[23]. Tidal
data analysis techniques can include harmonic analysis, which decomposes tidal data into its
constituent frequencies, and spectral analysis, which can identify non-tidal signals such as storm
surges[20]. Visualization of tidal data can be done using graphs and maps, which can help to
identify patterns and trends in the data[20]. Case studies on tidal data analysis can provide
insights into the practical applications of these techniques. For example, a recent study used
theory-based artificial intelligence techniques to analyze tidal data for disaster management in
Taehwa River, South Korea[20]. Another study investigated the elastic and anelastic response of
the crust and upper mantle across Alaska to mass loading by ocean tides[22].
information about the driving forces behind tides and their interactions with the atmosphere.
Wind measurement instruments, such as anemometers and wind vanes, are used to collect data
on wind speed and direction. Anemometers are the most common tools for measuring wind
speed and can be found in various designs, including cup, propeller, and sonic
anemometers[24][25][26]. Wind vanes, on the other hand, are used to determine wind direction
exerted by the wind on the water surface, can drive oceanic circulation and influence tidal
currents[27]. The drag coefficient, a measure of the resistance of the water surface to the wind, is
also affected by wind speed and plays a role in determining the magnitude of the wind-driven
currents[27]. Additionally, wind can cause variations in sea level through the process of wind
setup, where the wind pushes water towards the coast, and wind setdown, where the wind blows
Analyzing wind data alongside tidal data can provide insights into the complex interactions
between the atmosphere and the ocean. One method for analyzing wind data is to calculate the
wind stress, which is the product of the drag coefficient and the square of the wind speed[27].
This can help researchers understand the driving forces behind tidal currents and their variability.
Another approach is to use numerical models, such as the Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN)
model, which can simulate the effects of wind on wave and current patterns[27]. By integrating
wind data into tidal analysis, scientists can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the
