Fes2004 is the tide level and harmonic predictor for tide of POC-LEGOS. Development credits go to Thierry Letellier and Florent Lyard.

An open discussion started around this presentation.

Quick start

Get the package. Unpack it and read the readme-1st file for instructions. If you're working within MARETEC or HIDROMOD then map a network drive (say, X:) to \\kepler\DataCenter1\DataCenter\Modelos_2(2)\FES\fes2004data. If not, get the datasets fes2004 here and install them somewhere in your network with read permissions.

Mohid-tide

Here's what the input file should look like (CAUTION: it's longitude latitude null!): CAUTION: The file MUST END with <end_xyz>! Otherwise results will be erroneous. NO BLANK LINES ARE ALLOWED!

longitude latitude null
  • Sample input:
<begin_xyz>
-61.410     -38.995   0.
-61.41      -39.00    0. 
-61.41001   -38.99    0.
-61.41001   -38.7     0.
-61.41      -39.38    0.
-70.2       -56.2     0.
<end_xyz>
  • The command line is :
mohid-tide X:\tide.nc input_mohid-tide.dat output.dat   0 2.08

In this example, the input file is called input_mohid-tide.dat. The output file is called output.dat. The data file is called tide.nc and it's path is X:\. The 0 and the 2.08 are respectively the time reference and the water level reference. Change all these parameters accordingly to your situation.

Building fes2004 from scratch under windows

Prerequisites

  1. Get the WinGSL distribution. Unpack at least the dll.
  2. Get the netcdf distribution. Unpack at least the dll.
  3. Get the fes2004 extraction/prediction sotware.
  4. Get the data file(~600MB) and rename it to tide.nc (or get it at \\kepler\DataCenter1\DataCenter\Modelos_2(2)\FES\fes2004data).

fes2004 vs fes95

Essentially fes2004 contains 4 new relevant tidal components. And it supports higher resolution, allowing extraction of tidal gauges closer to the coast. These two reasons alone make it a very interesting asset to include in Mohid.
