Wolfram Tides Calculator
The Wolfram Tides Calculator is a comprehensive tool for accessing tide information. It can calculate the present tide, today's high and low tides, provide historical computations, and offer a tide forecast for planning purposes. The app can automatically detect the user's current location or provide data from around the world.
In addition to tide information, the app offers bonus extras such as sunrise, sunset, and moon phase data, properties of oceans including the speed of sound, sun exposure information and UV forecasts, weather forecast and history, and pressure underwater computations.
The tide predictions are based on data collected from tide measurement stations and extrapolated using a mathematical and physical model. The app can provide historical, present, and future tide information for locations with tide stations. The Wolfram Tides Calculator currently has data from over 2,000 tide stations worldwide.
The app is powered by the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine and created by Wolfram Research, known for Mathematica—the leading software system for mathematical research and education.
To access the Wolfram Tides Calculator, users need a 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connection to utilize the computational power of Wolfram|Alpha supercomputers.
