dc.description.abstract | Harmonic tidal prediction methods are often problematic in estuaries owing to the distortion of tidal fluctuations in shallow
water, causing disparity between predicted and observed sea levels. The UK National Tidal and Sea Level Facility attempted
to reduce prediction errors for the short-term forecasting of High Water (HW) extremes using three alternative techniques to
the Harmonic Method in the Bristol Channel, where prediction errors are relatively large. A simple procedure for correcting
Harmonic Method HW predictions using recent observations (referred to as the Empirical Correction Method) proved most
effective and was also successfully applied to sea-level records from 42 of the 44 UK Tide Gauge Network locations. It is to be
incorporated into the operational systems of the UK Coastal Monitoring and Forecasting Partnership to improve UK shortterm
sea level predictions. | en_US |
