Modelling the tides on the North West European Shelf
Tides are a key process in the dynamics of the North West European Shelf. A GETM model has been developed for the region and this report describes the model performance. Measured harmonic constituents are compared with model outputs and these results are put into context with other shelf sea models of the region. Most of the differences between the model and observations are within the errors that are expected for a shelf sea model, and the overall statistics are skewed by poor performance in a few places. The major constituents are not represented particularly well in the Irish Sea, Celtic Sea and English Channel regions, but overall this model performs reasonably well, and better than many other shelf sea models of the region.
