NTIP

NTIP is an input in the fort.15 file that selects the astronomical forcing input type.

Parameter Summary

The following table is a summary of possible NTIP values, description, details, and other necessary input parameters and files.

NTIP Value	Description	Details	Other Required Inputs
0	No Astronomical Forcing		NTIF = 0
1	Astronomical Tidal Potential	Reconstructs the tidal elevation using the analytical formulation for the equilibrium tidal potential [1]	NTIF > 0
2	Astronomical Tidal Potential plus Self-attraction and Loading (SAL) Tide [2]	Reconstructs the tidal elevation by summing the contribution from the analytical formulation for the equilibrium tidal potential [1] with the contribution from the prescribed SAL constituent values found in the fort.24 file.	NTIF > 0, fort.24 file
