open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hello,

I have maybe a stupid question but i don't know where i can found the information.

For the data of TPXO, this data just fonction before the year 2014 or we can use this data and mention the date of 01/01/2018 for example?

Another question: what about the prediction, this data can predict the tide for september 2018 for example?

Sorry for this question, hope someone clear me more for the origin and condition to use this data of TPXO.
Thank you.
REGARDS.

Hi Yasmina,

I do not think there is a restriction in time.
Tidal constituents are computed from long-term time series and the actual amount of data can let us assume that we can predict the tide for the dates we want (as long as the stars rotate in the same way and the continents do not move too much ).
For more details about the methods used to compute the TPXO model, you can read the 2 articles Egbert, Bennett, and Foreman,1994 and Egbert and Erofeeva,2002

Hi Laurent,

I am relieved to know that it is possible, that way I can predict for the date I want (Let's just hope, as you say, that the continent will not move too much haha: lol :).

Thanks for the articles, it will help me so much.
