  • Predict tidal elevation at multiple times and locations using harmonic constants
  • Can be used to calculate tidal corrections for airborne and satellite altimetry

Calling Sequence

from pyTMD.predict_tide import predict_tide
ht = predict_tide(time,hc,con)

Inputs

  1. time: days relative to Jan 1, 1992 (48622mjd)
  2. hc: harmonic constant vector (complex)
  3. constituents: tidal constituent IDs

Options

  • DELTAT: time correction for converting to Ephemeris Time (days)
  • CORRECTIONS: use nodal corrections from OTIS/ATLAS or GOT models

Outputs

  • ht: time series reconstructed using the nodal corrections
