Q5
How are tide levels calculated?
A5
For Japan area oceans, tide times and level changes are predictively calculated using harmonic constant data obtained from Bibliography 742 Tidal Harmonic Constants Tables, Japanese Coast (February 1992) published by the Hydrographic Department of the Japan Coast Guard, and from the List of Tidal Stations (2015) published by the Japan Meteorological Agency. For other area oceans, tide times and level changes are predictively calculated using harmonic constant data obtained from NOAA, NOAA CO-OPS, and the NOAA Tides & Currents website, and the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE / COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY January 1942 TH-1.
