Tidal Observations

Tidal observations refer to the systematic measurement and study of tides, which are the regular rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational forces of the Moon and Sun, along with the Earth's rotation. By observing tides, researchers can understand patterns in water movement, predict high and low tides, and assess their effects on coastal ecosystems, navigation, and climate. These observations help in various fields, including marine biology, oceanography, and urban planning, ensuring safe and informed decisions regarding coastal activities and infrastructure development.
