This textbook is a self-contained introduction to tides that will
be useful for courses on tides in oceans and coastal seas at an
advanced undergraduate and postgraduate level, and will also serve
as the go-to book for researchers and coastal engineers needing
information about tides. The material covered includes: a
derivation of the tide-generating potential; a systematic overview
of the main lunar periodicities; an intuitive explanation of the
origin of the main tidal constituents; basic wave models for tidal
propagation (e.g. Kelvin waves, the Taylor problem); shallow-water
constituents; co-oscillation and resonance; frictional and
radiation damping; the vertical structure of tidal currents; and a
separate chapter on internal tides, which deals with ocean
stratification, propagation of internal tides (vertical modes and
characteristics) and their generation. Exercises are provided in
each chapter.
