Abstract

This paper reviews the development of the tide and tidal current prediction in China. The first generation prediction product was developed in 1959-1964. This product, called the Perpetual Tidal Current Tables, provided predicted tidal current data at 5 m depth at the same limited stations. These tables were compiled based on the method developed by Дуванин. The second generation prediction product, called the Atlas of Perpetual Tide and Tidal Current Prediction for China Adjacent Seas, was completed during 1970-1978. This product was compiled based on the method developed by Fang Guohong. The atlas covered nearly entire sea areas adjacent to China and provided tidal current data at 5 levels in the vertical. Both the first and second generation products used printed paper as platforms. During 2005-2006 we developed the third generation prediction product. This product covered the entire China adjacent seas, with a resolution of 5′×5′ and 10 levels in the vertical. The product allowed interpolation to an arbitrary location and level. The development processes and the basic principles are introduced in the present paper.
