summary: Barotropic tide model for the Pacific Ocean. The model is based on harmonics distributed by Oregon State University (OSU) and assimilates satellite altimetry data from TOPEX/Poseidon. It was generated using OSU Tidal Prediction Software (OTPS), modified locally by J. Potemra, using barotropic inverse tidal solutions from OSU. While considerable effort has been made to implement all model components in a thorough, correct, and accurate manner, numerous sources of error are possible. As such, please use this output with the caution appropriate for any ocean related activity.
rights: These model data were generated as part of an academic research project, and the principal investigator, Jim Potemra (jimp@hawaii.edu), asks to be informed of intent for scientific use and appropriate acknowledgment given in any publications arising therefrom.

funding: The Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS), funded through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is a Regional Association within the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). PacIOOS is coordinated by the University of Hawaii School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST).
