LSF Tides

Least Squares Fit for ROMS Tides

$\phi (t)={\bar {\phi }}+\sum _{k=1}^{N}A_{k}\sin \omega _{k}t+\sum _{k=1}^{N}B_{k}\cos \omega _{k}t$

$\,\!\phi$: state variables

$\,\!\omega _{k}$: tidal frequency

$\,\!A_{k},B_{k}$: amplitude

$\,\!N$: number of harmonics

To minimize cost function $\varepsilon ^{2}$

$\varepsilon ^{2}={\frac {1}{T}}\int _{t_{1}}^{t_{2}}\left[\phi -\left({\bar {\phi }}+\sum _{k=1}^{N}(A_{k}\sin \omega _{k}t)+\sum _{k=1}^{N}(B_{k}\cos \omega _{k}t)\right)\right]^{2}dt$

$\,\!\phi ,A_{k},B_{k}$ are unknowns

In discrete space:

$\varepsilon ^{2}={\frac {1}{M}}\sum _{i=1}^{M}\left[\phi _{i}-\left({\bar {\phi }}+\sum _{k=1}^{N}(A_{k}\sin \omega _{k}t_{i})+\sum _{k=1}^{N}(B_{k}\cos \omega _{k}t_{i})\right)\right]^{2}$

at the minimum

${\frac {\partial \varepsilon ^{2}}{\partial {\bar {\phi }}}}=0$

${\frac {\partial \varepsilon ^{2}}{\partial A_{k}}}=0\;\;\;\;\;\;k=1,...,N$

${\frac {\partial \varepsilon ^{2}}{\partial B_{k}}}=0$

${\frac {\partial \varepsilon ^{2}}{\partial {\bar {\phi }}}}=0$

$\sum _{i=1}^{M}\left[-2\phi _{i}+2{\bar {\phi }}+2\sum _{k=1}^{N}(A_{k}\sin \omega _{k}t_{i})+2\sum _{k=1}^{N}(B_{k}\sin \omega _{k}t_{i})\right]=0$

${\frac {\partial \varepsilon ^{2}}{\partial A_{k}}}=0$

${\begin{aligned}\sum _{i=1}^{M}{\Bigg [}&-2\phi _{i}\sin \omega _{k}t_{i}+2{\bar {\phi }}\sin \omega _{k}t_{i}+2\sum _{p=1}^{N}(A_{p}\sin \omega _{p}t_{i}\sin \omega _{k}t_{i})\\&+2\sum _{p=1}^{N}(B_{p}\cos \omega _{p}t_{i}\sin \omega _{k}t_{i}){\Bigg ]}=0\end{aligned}}$

${\frac {\partial \varepsilon ^{2}}{\partial B_{k}}}=0$

${\begin{aligned}\sum _{i=1}^{M}{\Bigg [}&-2\phi _{i}\cos \omega _{k}t_{i}+2{\bar {\phi }}\cos \omega _{k}t_{i}+2\sum _{p=1}^{N}(A_{p}\sin \omega _{p}t_{i}\cos \omega _{k}t_{i})\\&+2\sum _{p=1}^{N}(B_{p}\cos \omega _{p}t_{i}\cos \omega _{k}t_{i}){\Bigg ]}=0\end{aligned}}$

in matrix form (7 harmonics). Note: all instances of $\sum$ are actually $\sum _{i=1}^{M}$
