SMPK Manual Tide

Understanding and predicting tides are very important, particularly for coastal marine operations. Series of Tide gauges were planned to installed in many major ports at strategic locations for measuring the water levels.

Since tides are deterministic, they can be predicted. In regions where tidal ranges are large, tidal predictions are important for navigational purposes. Long time series of tide gauge data are one of the most important source of information reporting for port operations planning and vessel traffic management.

Data from these tide gauges are archived in the application and being used for predictive modelling apart from real time monitoring of water level. It is important to have specialized skills to process and analyze data from tide gauges.

In addition, smart telemetry and data analytics methods were employed for tidal data analysis to provide more robust and reliable real time data stream.
