Pappas, K. (author), Mackie, L. (author), Zilakos, I. (author), van der Weijde, A.H. (author), Angeloudis, A. (author)Tides exhibit variability over time. This study proposes a methodology for selecting a representative timeframe for tidal range energy analyses, when constrained to a typical, short-term, lunar month-long period. We explore how the selection of particular timeframes skews findings of energy assessments, especially for cross-comparisons across...article 2023
