Module Outline:
Description of the forces generating tides (static and dynamic theory).
Description of the major harmonic constituents. Identification and recognition of the different types of tides.
Explanation of the concept of amphidromic points and cotidal charts.
Definition of the different tidal levels.
Explanation of the working principles of different types of water level gauges and poles. Describe the characteristics of river, coastal and offshore water level gauges. Description of the installation and operation of water level gauges and poles
Description of the relation between flow and tides. Definition of rectilinear and rotary tidal streams and related elements. Field measurements for tidal flow and currents, including log ship, pole and current meters.
Prediction of water levels for main and secondary ports, using tide tables. Calculate water level at a particular time, and/or calculate the time at which a specific height will occur.
Application of cotidal chart information.
Compute tidal predictions using numerical models.
Description of the temporal and spatial effects on water level caused by: atmospheric pressure, wind, seiches, and precipitation. Identification of water level variations occurring in rivers and lakes and due to dam operations.
