United KingdomA new research method enables precise mapping of tidal variations using satellite imagery rather than traditional water level gauges. The technique, developed by researchers from DTU Space, the University of Oxford, the Technical University of Munich, and OHB, analyzes over 40 years of Landsat satellite data to track coastline boundaries and beach slopes. This approach allows for highly localized tidal measurements, addressing gaps in data from sparsely monitored regions like Greenland. The method treats previously considered 'noise' in satellite data as valuable signals for mapping tidal patterns. Researchers suggest this could improve local tidal forecasting, especially in remote areas with limited gauge networks.
