Overview
Provided marine data processing services for a client's thesis research, focusing on tidal data analysis from Pekalongan waters using the T_Tide package in MATLAB. This specialized toolbox enabled comprehensive harmonic analysis of tidal patterns, extracting key tidal constituents and generating long-term predictions until 2050 to support oceanographic research and coastal planning.
Analysis Workflow
- Data Collection & Preparation - Received tidal water level data from client, performed data cleaning to ensure accuracy
- Harmonic Analysis - Utilized T_Tide MATLAB package to decompose tidal signals into harmonic constituents (M2, S2, K1, O1, etc.)
- Statistical Analysis - Calculated tidal characteristics, analyzed patterns, and validated results against known tidal behavior
- Long-term Prediction - Generated tidal predictions from analysis period until 2050 using extracted harmonic constants
- Result & Visualization - Created comprehensive plots and delivered analysis results with documentation for thesis research
Result
- Successfully performed harmonic analysis of tidal data using T_Tide MATLAB package
- Extracted major and minor tidal constituents with validated accuracy
- Generated long-term tidal predictions until 2050 for comprehensive analysis
- Produced high-quality visualizations and documentation for academic research
