Sammendrag	Tidal harmonic analysis is a mathematical method that decomposes observed sea level or current time series into a sum of sinusoidal components with specific frequencies, amplitudes, and phases corresponding to astronomical tidal constituents. Developed by William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) in 1867, harmonic analysis enables prediction of tides and understanding of tidal dynamics in coastal regions.	The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) is an instrument that uses Doppler-shifted acoustic backscatter to measure water velocity profiles along a vertical profile. Developed by RD Instruments in the 1980s, it has become the standard method for high-resolution current profiling in oceanographic research. ADCPs provide unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution of ocean circulation patterns.	Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) profiling is the primary method for measuring vertical profiles of seawater properties in oceanography. Developed by Neil Brown in 1977, CTD instruments are equipped with sensors for conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth), and are typically mounted on water-sampling rosettes. CTD profiling provides essential hydrographic data that characterizes water mass structure, stratification, and circulation patterns.
