Summary
DescriptionTide.Bridgeport.30d.svg |
English: Thirty days of tide heights at Bridgeport, Connecticut, U.S.A. as calculated from the Harmonic Constituent data aligned with 0h Sunday 1st September 1991. Calculations and plotting done by a MatLab script (found here), devised by NickyMcLean as part of some investigations for the New Zealand Electricity Commission and given as an example in the article on Arthur Thomas Doodson - slightly revised to reduce the large border supplied by MatLab.
