Tidal Observatory

A Tidal Observatory is a facility equipped with advanced instruments to monitor and measure ocean tides and related phenomena. It records data such as water levels, current speeds, and wave patterns, helping scientists understand tidal behavior and its effects on coastal environments. This information is essential for navigation safety, coastal management, scientific research, and predicting environmental changes. By continuously observing tides, the observatory provides valuable insights into how tides fluctuate over time, influenced by factors like gravitational forces from the moon and sun, as well as local geographic features.
