Tides VBA

aa: Principle & overview ;

The tidal calculations use SHM / harmonic constants for calculations. Table III & VII will have to be
entered in sections below. I find making my own curves better than any patent program (except ofcourse totaltide) as I can apply
port limits etc. to the same.
The calculations are excatly the same method described in the tide tables.
bb: Entering Tables / usage;
Please enter table III from tide table. This is a one time entry and will not have to be made for the
same port again. Table VII will have to be entered from the tables for the dates required + one more day.
Do not forget to include seasonal corrections at the bottom of table III for more accuracy.
Change date and press calculate button to calculate tides for each day. You can use the sliders to move two limit lines on the
graph for port requirements etc.
