Book excerpt: A new hydrodynamical interpolation technique has been developed and tested to construct a model of global ocean tides with the support of empirical tidal constants collected around the world. The discrete tide model features a 1 deg by 1 deg graded grid system in connection with a hydrodynamically defined bathymetry. The Laplace tidal equations are augmented by turbulent friction terms with novel mesh-area (latitude and depth) dependent eddy-viscosity and bottom-friction coefficients. The well-known astronomical tide-generating forces are modified by effects due to solid earth tides and ocean-tidal loading. New averaged finite differences in time are used to enhance stability characteritics and to facilitate the hydrodynamical interpolation of empirical data. This unique interpolation is accomplished by a controlled adjustment of the bottom-friction coefficient and by redefining a more physical shoreline. Extensive computer experiments were conducted to study the characteristics of the novel friction laws and hydrodynamical interpolation methods. The computed M2 tide data along with all (specially labeled) empirical constants are tabulated in map form for four typical 30 by 50 deg ocean areas. A complete tabulation and discussion of the computed M2 tide will be published in Part II of this report. It is estimated that the tabulated tidal charts permit a prediction of the M2-tide elevation of the ocean surface over the geoidal level with an accuracy of better than 5 cm anywhere in the open ocean and with somewhat less accuracy near rough shorelines.

Book excerpt: In Part I (Schwiderski, 1978a) of this report, a unique hydrodynamical interpolation technique was introduced, extensively tested, and evaluated in order to compute partial global ocean tides in great detail and with a high degree of accuracy. This novel method has been applied to construct the diurnal principal solar (P1) ocean tide with a relative accuracy of better than 5 cm anywhere in the open oceans. The resulting tidal amplitudes and phases are tabulated on a 1 deg X 1 deg grid system in an atlas of 42 deg X 71 deg overlapping charts covering the whole oceanic globe. A corresponding atlas of global corange and cotidal maps is included to provide the reader with a quick general overview of the major tidal phenomena. The specifying hydrodynamical parameters of the model are listed along with quoted sources of empirical tide data, and significant tidal features are explained and discussed. As expected, since the periods of the diurnal tides P1 (24.07h) and K1 (23.93 h) differ by only 0.14 h, these two tides resemble very closely each other (compare Part IV). Significant differences occur only in regions of rapid tidal variations. Of course, P1 resembles also the diurnal 01 tide but to a visibly lesser degree (see Part V). (Author).

Book excerpt: In Part I (Schwiderski, 1978a) of this report, a unique hydrodynamical interpolation technique was introduced, extensively tested, and evaluated in order to compute partial global ocean tides in great detail and with a high degree of accuracy. This novel method has been applied to construct the diurnal elliptical lunar (Q1) ocean tide with a relative accuracy of better than 5 cm anywhere in the open oceans.

The diurnal Q1 tide resembles all other computed diurnal tides K1, O1, and P1 (see Part IV, V, and VII). Qualitative similarities exist also between the diurnal and semidiurnal species M2, S2, N2, and K2 (see Parts II, III, VI, and VIII). (Author).

This novel method has been applied to construct the diurnal principal lunar (O1) ocean tide with a relative accuracy of better than 5 cm anywhere in the open oceans.

The specifying hydrodynamical parameters of the model are listed along with quoted sources of empirical tide data, and significant tidal features are explained and discussed.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Part I (Schwiderski, 1978a) of this report, a unique hydrodynamical interpolation technique was introduced, extensively tested, and evaluated in order to compute partial global ocean tides in great detail and with a high degree of accuracy. This novel method has been applied to construct the fortnightly lunar (Mf) ocean tide with about the same relative accuracy of better than 5 cm anywhere in the open oceans. The resulting tidal amplitudes and phases are tabulated on a 1 degree x 1 degree grid system in an atlas of 42 degrees x 71 degrees overlapping charts covering the whole oceanic globe. A corresponding atlas of global corange and cotidal maps is included to provide the reader with a quick general overview of the major tidal phenomena. The specifying hydrodynamical parameters of the model are listed along with quoted sources of empirical tide data, and significant tidal features are explained and discussed. As expected the long-period fortnightly lunar tide (Mf) differs in structure considerably from the earlier computerd semidiurnal and diurnal ocean tides. In most areas, the oceanic that response resemblies its forcing equilibrium tide, but amphidromic points do exist in the middle northern and southern latitudes. (Author).

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a direct result of the NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Banyuls-sur-mer, France, June 1985. The Institute had the same title as this book. It was held at Laboratoire Arago. Eighty lecturers and students from almost all NATO countries attended. The purpose was to review the state of the art of physical oceanographic numerical modelling including the parameterization of physical processes. This book represents a cross-section of the lectures presented at the ASI. It covers elementary mathematical aspects through large scale practical aspects of ocean circulation calculations. It does not encompass every facet of the science of oceanographic modelling. We have, however, captured most of the essence of mesoscale and large-scale ocean modelling for blue water and shallow seas. There have been considerable advances in modelling coastal circulation which are not included. The methods section does not include important material on phase and group velocity errors, selection of grid structures, advanced methods to conservation in highly nonlinear systems, inverse methods and other important ideas for modern ocean modelling. Hopefully, this book will provide a foundation of knowledge to support the growth of this emergent field of science. The NATO Advanced Study Institute was supported by many organi zations. The seed money, of course, was received from the NATO Science Commi ttee. Many national organizations provided travel money for partiCipants. In France, CNES, IFREMER, and CNRS provided funds to support the French participants. In the U. S.

Some differences occur only in areas with rapid tidal variations. (Author).
