Peter, etal,

This month's "The Industrial Physicist" magazine, http://www.tipmagazine.com/ , has an interesting article about using computer modelling to define tide variability, http://www.tipmagazine.com/tip/INPHFA/vol-7/iss-5/p14.pdf

The author is Derek Goring, the principal scientist of the Coastal Hydrodynamics Group of the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Ltd. in Christchurch, New Zealand (d.goring_at_niwa.cri.nz).
