A Global Ocean Tide Model with High Resolution in Shelf Areas

  • Chapter
Geodetic Features of the Ocean Surface and their Implications

Abstract

A numerical finite-difference global ocean tide model with variable grid spacing has been developed. Deep-sea areas are covered by a coarse grid (4-degree meshsize) that is refined in three steps to half-degree mesh-size in most of the shelf areas. The technique of combining coarse and fine grid cells has been generalized. Thus the model is not restricted to a specific arrangement of the numerical grid.
