Abstract
This investigation aims to enhance and assess the accuracy and performance of a data assimilation model and validating tide current meters in the northern Atlantic Ocean. For this case study, Finite Element Solution (FES), was selected which also accounts for the discharged tidal currents in version 2014c, this model surpasses other models such as Tidal Prediction by the expertise of Oceanography (TPXO), Empirical Orthogonal Tidal (EOT), Harmonic Analysis of Tidal Model (HAMTIDE) with its exceptional ability to consider local effects, provide superior spatial and temporal resolution, and seamlessly integrate observational data. Additionally, since in situ measurements were available from a database of ADCPs instruments deployed in the northern Atlantic Ocean, specifically in northern Scotland and Canada for further marine renewable applications, this was selected as the focus area of study.
