NOS CO-OPS Water Level Data, High Low Tide Prediction These results strongly suggest that in order to produce accurate predictions of oil spill trajectories, simulations must include tidal effects, such as variations within a tidal cycle and advections over longer time scales in tide-dominated areas. Friction induced by tidal stress decelerated the southward subtidal flows driven by northwesterly winter winds along the Korean coast of the Yellow Sea. Subtidal flow in the simulation without tides was stronger than in that with tides because of reduced frictional effects. The speeds of the oil spill trajectories predicted by the model without tidal forcing were substantially faster than the observations however, predictions taking into account the tides, including both tidal cycle and subtidal periods, were satisfactorily improved.
