The time table of high and low tide – Does anybody physically check it out ?
We get time table about the high and low tide as well as the height of the high tide on differenct dates and times. Do we have a system to actually measure up the actual sea level to confirm that what we have predicted / mathemically calculated is actually coming out true. I have my own doubts. I have on several occasions tried to check it out myself and did NOT get any convincing results. I am a layman, not a scientist. It is my curiosity. I have a strong gut feeling that there are also other forces which also significantly influence the high tides and we do not know all of them. If we present the comparative data of the actual sea level at different time and location zones, we will get better picture. It is so obvious, but it is also likely to be taken for granted by the scientists. Do not get offended.
