Wolfram Tides Calculator 1.3.1

The Wolfram Tides Calculator offers comprehensive tide information and serves as a reliable resource for both casual users and professionals alike. It provides real-time data on current tides, as well as high and low tides for the day, and includes capabilities for historical tidal computations. Users can also utilize the forecast function for vacation planning or travel purposes. The application detects the user's location automatically or allows for manual selection from global data sources.

Additional features included in the app enhance its utility:

• Sunrise, sunset, and moon phase data
• Information on ocean properties, such as the propagation speed of sound within seawater
• Sun exposure details and UV index forecasts
• Weather forecasting, historical weather data, and current conditions
• Underwater pressure calculations

Tide predictions are generated by aggregating data from tide measurement stations worldwide and applying established mathematical and physical models to extrapolate current, historical, and forecasted tide information. Consequently, the service's accuracy depends on the proximity of available tide stations; presently, data from over 2,000 stations globally are integrated. If users identify a nearby tide station not currently represented, they are encouraged to submit its location and relevant URLs to enhance coverage.

The Wolfram Tides Calculator operates on the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine, developed by Wolfram Research, renowned for its flagship software Mathematica—a leading platform for mathematical research and education.

The application leverages the computational power of Wolfram|Alpha's supercomputers and requires an active internet connection via 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi to deliver accurate and timely tidal predictions.
