features real-time filters and vessel dynamics, a choice of world-wide Mean Sea Surface or regional reference frame models, and tidal prediction for mission planning.
C-Tides Offline utilities include data smoothing and outlier rejection, harmonic analysis, Doodson X0 filter and a LAT option.
The results are suitable for combining with other suitably calibrated vertical components to achieve IHO S-44 Order 1 or better.
