Tide analysis and prediction

I want to do tidal analysis. Can anyone help me ?

A little late Nazmul, but I hope this answer can help to other people with the same doubt.

All tidal analysis requires two input parameters:

• sea levels,
• dates.

The sea levels can be mesured with devices as CTD or mareographs. Depending on the frequency sample of these devices you will get a sea level record o time series.

You will probably need to preprocess the data, before to use a tidal tool to get the harmonic analysis.

To perform the tidal analysis and prediction you are going to requiere some software as:

• TIDE, Delft3d suite, Deltares (commercial software).
• Tidal analysis and prediction, Mike 21 suite, DHI (commercial software)
• or some program o scripts developed by a reserch center or university.

As we are in a Matlab forum, my advice would be you should check: T_tide, World Tides, LP-Tides, Tidal fitting toolbox, etc.

Thanks a lot. I have used T_tide by R. Pawlowicz for tidal analysis. Currently I am trying to extend my research works to tide modelling. Would you suggest me some Matlab toolbox regarding tide modelling?

Hi @Nazmul Hasan! You should check the Grinsted's Matlab toolbox: Tidal fitting toolbox.

You can use latest S_TIDE toolbox which also has GUI (https://ww2.mathworks.cn/matlabcentral/fileexchange/100426-a-gui-program-for-s_tide-tidal-toolbox)
