With a heritage of providing ports with accurate tidal information stretching back over 100 years, the National Oceanography Centre’s tidal prediction software and data services provide you with the critical tidal information you need to optimise port operations.
Our Poltips 4 software calculates highly accurate astronomical tidal predictions for over 700 ports and enables you to produce print ready tide tables and graphical representations for your port. Features of Poltips 4 include:
- Choice of tide table layouts for printing or easily download tidal data for export into other applications
- Tidal statistics including times of highest and lowest tides for any date range
- Uses the harmonic method of tidal prediction with up to 114 harmonic constituents accurately calculated here at the National Oceanography Centre
- Recently redeveloped with many new features
We can also produce bespoke tide tables for your port using your own tide gauge data. Our experienced analysts will review your data and conduct harmonic analysis quickly and cost effectively to provide you either with a final tide table output or your own tailored version of Poltips so you can make predictions based on your own tide gauge data as you need them.
