FES is the last version of the FES (Finite Element Solution) tide model.

DESCRIPTION

This package is the fully revised version of the FES2014 distribution. This distribution includes the FES2014 tidal prediction software managed on this page and the FES2014 tides databases

CREDITS

When using FES2014, please mention: FES2014 was produced by NOVELTIS, LEGOS, CLS Space Oceanography Division and CNES. It is distributed by AVISO, with support from CNES (http://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/)

HOW TO INSTALL THE SOFTWARE ?

The complete description of the build method is described in the INSTALL file located in the root of this software.

HOW TO USE THE SOFTWARE ?

This distribution contains a C/Python API to be used to calculate the tide. The C API documentation describes the functions to be used to perform the calculation with C/C++. The directory examples contains an example of using this API.

This distribution contains a C/Python API to be used to calculate the tide.

The C API documentation describes the functions to be used to perform the calculation with C/C++. The source code fes_slev.c contains an example of how to use this API with the "C" language.

The Python API documentation describes the functions to be used to perform the calculation with Python. The examples directory contains several examples of using this API: tide_gauge.py illustrates the basic use of the API (the program performs the same calculation as the C program) and the programs fes_slev.py and fes_uv.py illustrates the calculation of the global tide map and tidal velocities.
