"A dynamical picture of the oceanic tides" by
Eugene I. Butikov
Department of physics, St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg, Russia, 198904

A detailed treatment of tide-generating forces is given, followed by a simplified dynamic theory
of tidal waves. To clarify the underlying physics, we use a simple model of the ocean that consists
of a water shell of uniform depth completely covering the globe. The treatment is appropriate for
college and university undergraduate students studying introductory geophysics or astronomy,
general physics, or intermediate mechanics. A computer simulation is developed to aid in understanding
the properties of sun- or moon-induced tide-generating forces and of the stationary tidal
waves created by these forces in the open ocean.

Appreciate your sharing of the notes on tide dynamics from SPB.
Thanks to tookitook for posting and Eugene I Butikov for preparing it.
I have downloaded it. Is he your professor?

You welcome

I took a lot of great staff from this site, so it's time for me to post something useful.


No, he is from other department, I didn’t know him. If you interested – go to http://www.ifmo.ru/butikov/
