Tides as a periodically-correlated random process

The possibility and expediency of analysing tidal phenomena using methods from the theory of periodically-correlated random processes are discussed. The model for simulating these processes allows the cyclicity and stochasticity of tidal oscillations to be considered and the variability of the regular course of tidal waves to be assessed. The model essentially expands the bounds of the classical theory for tidal phenomena.Translated by V. Puchkin.
