Tide Model for the Big Island of Hawaii


Tide model for the Big Island of Hawaii. The model is based on climatological stratification, but 64 harmonics are used to model the full-depth baroclinic tides. The model has been run at 1km resolution, hourly, through the end of 2024. Due to computing limitations, the model grid is divided into two pieces, one for the Northwestern main Hawaiian Islands (Kauai, Oahu, Maui) and the other for the Big Island. While considerable effort has been made to implement all model components in a thorough, correct, and accurate manner, numerous sources of error are possible. As such, please use this output with the caution appropriate for any ocean related activity.
