tidal prediction

Tidal prediction involves forecasting the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun, combined with Earth's rotation. Scientists analyze historical tide data and use mathematical models to understand patterns and influences. These models consider factors like lunar and solar positions, earth’s rotation, and local geography to predict future tides accurately. Tidal predictions help in navigation, coastal planning, and managing marine activities, ensuring safety and efficiency by providing reliable estimates of high and low tides for specific locations and times.
