Utility to calculate and graph co-oscillation tides

This utility calculates and plots the amplitude and phase of a co-oscillation tide in a narrow gulf. The solution is found for one tidal constituent at a time.

Step 1    Select the tidal constituent, or select "other" and enter the period of your choice:
 M2  S2  O1  K1  other period:  hours
Step 2    Enter and set the friction parameter:
r = .10-5 s-1   (Your damping time 1/r is  hours)

Step 3    Enter the section length:  km

Step 4    Select 'Spencer Gulf' and 'submit to graph', or select 'own data' and follow instructions:


magnification:  rms error: amplitude  phase
