A refined two-dimensional tide and tidal current model is built based on the finite element ocean model ADCIRC(Advanced Circulation Model).The model is forced by 8 tide constituents of M2,S2,K1,O1,etc,and the corresponding 8 tide harmonic constituents are calculated using the model result.The tide and tidal current forecasted by the calculated harmonic constituents agrees well with the observation.A visual tide and tid-al current forecasting system which can be operated independently is established based on Matlab.The system can forecast the tide and depth-integrated tidal current in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea.Some of the tide characteristics also can be shown through the system.The tide and tidal current forecasting system can be operat-ed fast and conveniently and provide forecasting service for the offshore operation.
