The tides in the PRE mainly come from the Pacific oceanic tidal propagation through the Luzon Strait (Ye and Preiffer, 1990) with a mean tidal range between 1.0 and 1.7 m. They are also influenced by the geometry and bottom topograp ...

Effects of global warming on oceans
Global warming can affect sea levels, coastlines, ocean acidification, ocean currents, seawater, sea surface temperatures, tides, the sea floor, weather, and trigger several changes in ocean bio-geochemistry; all of these affect the functioning of a society.
