Abstract
A numerical, non-linear, barotropic, two-dimensional tidal model is implemented and used to simulate the M2,S2, O1 and K1 constituents in Port Foster (Deception Island, Antarctica). The model is validated by comparing the simulation results against measured water levels data collected in several stations inside the domain. Once the model has been validated, the total volume of Port Foster is exchanged with Bransfield Strait during the flood and the ebb tide have been estimated.
