Abstract

This archive contains materials related to a tide prediction system and laboratory aquarium tide height control system.

It includes a set of tide prediction libraries meant to run on Arduino microcontrollers. The libraries are based on data generated by the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration's National Ocean Service, and were compiled by David Flater for the open source program XTide. The data from XTide were then adapted to generate the individual libraries for a variety of sites around the US mainland, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. We also provide a set of R scripts to generate new libraries for additional NOAA tide station sites that are not included in this repository. See the folder "Generate_new_site_libraries" in the archive for the scripts and description of the library generation process.

Diagrams and parts lists for the mechanical portion of the tide control rack are provided as well.

R code and raw data for the plant growth analysis are provided as well.
