Tidal Current Forecasting and NOAA API Telemetry Ingestion
Navigating coastal waters and tidal estuaries demands precise harmonic tidal predictions and current velocity logs. The Glass ingests NOAA tidal telemetry API data and structures local tide station forecasts.
Tidal Invariants
- Harmonic Station Mapping: Coastal coordinates link to official NOAA tide and current prediction stations.
- High and Low Water Serialization: Daily tidal extremes serialize into clean YAML frontmatter arrays for offline navigation planning.
- Current Velocity Thresholds: Maximum flood and ebb current intervals record speed vectors for safe harbor passage.
Rigorous tidal telemetry ingestion ensures safe maritime transit across complex coastal waterways.
