Ocean Tides Modeling using Satellite Altimetry
<p>Ocean tides, resulting mainly from the gravitational attractions of the Moon and the Sun, represent 80% of the ocean surface topography variability with a practical importance for commerce and science over hundreds of years. Tides have strong influence on modeling of coastal or continental shelf …

The status of beavers in the delta area of the San Joaquin River, San Joaquin County, California, 1950-1951
… from these rivers, but they are affected by the ocean tides and to some extent by the salinity of the ocean water. The rgeion ecompasses about 507,000 acres, most of which has been reclaimed for agricultural purposes by the construction of levees to contain the tides and high waters. The word …

Bridging Simple Models and Observations of the Flexure Zone around Antarctica
… where the ice flexes due to the rise and fall of ocean tides. Surface elevation data from ICESat-2 were analyzed at several sites on the Ross Ice Shelf, and flexure bounds were identified using a derivative-based detection algorithm. The logarithmic relationship between the flexure length and the …

Metamorfoses da paisagem dos manguezais do estuário do Rio Paraíba.
… by being resistant to floods, salt water and the ocean tides. In the Paraíba river estuary, there is an approximately 5.000 ha length of mangrove area, which receive direct influence from human activity. This work’s main goal is to analyse the metamorphosis process of the mangrove landscape in the …

Barrier island groundwater dynamics
… multiple environmental forcings, such as waves, tides, storm surges, and precipitation that act on a variety of spatial and temporal scales, making coastal groundwater dynamics complex and difficult to predict. Here, measurements of groundwater heads, salinities, and temperatures collected for 3 …

Revealing interior structure of planetary bodies from their tidal response
… secondary deformations due to the weight of ocean tides — a process known as ocean loading tides. Tidally induced deformations are characterized by unique temporal and spatial frequencies, making tidal response an important complementary information, reflecting interior properties. In this …

Resonance studies of artificial earth satellites
… of the upper atmosphere, the gravity field, ocean tides, solid-Earth tides and solar radiation. The gravity field is expressed as a double infinite series of associated Legendre functions (tesseral harmonics). In contemporary global gravity field models the overall geoid is well determined. …

The Response of Antarctic Ice Streams to Tidal Forcing
… from the Antarctic interior makes its way to the ocean through fast-flowing ice streams, or glaciers. Understanding what controls the speed of these streams is extremely important in predicting the overall response of ice sheets to changing climatic conditions, and hence in predicting future …
