14 Stationary ADCP Analysis- Overview Harmonic Analysis (H.A.) of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler resolving the data as a superposition of sine waves due to tidal constituents u( t) A i cos( i t i ) Godin (1972) Foreman (1977) Foreman (1978) Pawlowicz (2002) Finds the least-squares fit to the current velocity data Generate tidal current predictions
15 Tidal Constituents Representations of the periodic variations of the Earth-Moon-Sun system 45 Astronomical Constituents 343 Shallow Water Constituents Constituent Name Period M2 Main Lunar Semidiurnal hours S2 Main Solar Semidiurnal hours N2 Larger Lunar Elliptical Semidiurnal hours K1 Lunar-Solar Declinational Diurnal hours O1 Lunar Declinational Diurnal hours
16 Rayleigh Criterion A methodology developed by Foreman (1977) to determine which tidal constituents can be resolved with harmonic analysis 2 1 TT R
