TOPIC: TPXO Coefficient to Calibrate Sea Level

Hi, All

I'm running an analysis on v7p2 with TPXO data.
I'm calculating the tides in an inlet on the coast of Maine and I have a question about the coefficient to calibrate sea level and/or the coefficient to calibrate tidal velocities.
I've been using the information on this website:
volkov.oce.orst.edu/tides/EC.html

The TPXO data files I use are: h_EC2010 and UV_EC2010, so the coefficient I use is 5.27 (see attached picture).
In the .cas:
COEFFICIENT TO CALIBRATE SEA LEVEL =5.27


Is this correct?

Hi
I'm not sure this value should be entered in this keyword...
The value in the keyword "coefficient to calibrate sea level" is the value of the mean sea level in your model...
The value in the table seems to be a kind of tpxo error estimate at the different location.

Try to run your model without this value to see the results and tune this value after the first run to adjust the result you obtain and/or enter here the value of the MSL in your area of interest

Christophe
