tidal modeling

Tidal modeling is the process of using mathematical and computer simulations to predict how ocean tides change over time. It considers factors like the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, Earth's rotation, and local geography. By inputting this information, models can accurately forecast tide levels, helping with navigation, coastal management, and understanding environmental impacts. These models range from simple calculations to complex simulations that incorporate various forces, providing detailed predictions for specific locations and times.
