Tidetech's primary scientific expertise lies in constructing and running numerical models which output tidal elevations, currents, storm and tide surges. Our scientists are former UK Government researchers who were the brains behind the world's first operational tide-surge model; still in use as the UK's storm surge warning system informing decisions about the operation of the River Thames flood barrier in London. We produce operational forecast models for regions round the world where tides and currents can have a significant impact on marine activity and make these data available to customers on a daily basis via our data service. We also have strong expertise in the scientific assessment of third party meteorological and oceanographic datasets and we routinely access a wide range of carefully selected products from government and academic sources worldwide for inclusion into ourTidetech specialises in providing accurate and detailed environmental information for the marine industry. Our field of expertise includes tide and storm surge modelling, research studies and development of operational forecast systems. Through our scientific expertise and our connections in the marine research community, Tidetech’s mission is to be the leading provider of data that meets the specific needs of the marine industry. With over 10,000 vessels using our Metocean data, we have proven results for reducing emissions and saving fuel. With our onboard training on how to obtain the most from the data, your vessels will run in a totally new and optimised way with huge benefits both financially and environmentally. The Tidetech Group is privately owned and headquartered in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia: a leading location for marine and Antarctic research. Our team is made up of developers, researchers, and scientists recognized as leaders in the field of physical oceanography. We are experts in met-ocean data management, data analysis, systems architecture and systems programming.
