Title: Tidal Anomaly Dependence on the Inverse Barometer Effect and 
Florida Current Speed Variability in the Coastal Southeastern United States

Abstract: This study investigates the influence of the Inverse Barometer 
Effect and Florida Current speed variability on tidal anomalies in the 
coastal southeastern United States. Utilizing data from Charleston, 
South Carolina, and Fort Pulaski, Georgia, the research quantifies the 
contributions of atmospheric pressure fluctuations and oceanic current 
variations to unexplained tidal height residuals. The analysis reveals 
that while the Inverse Barometer Effect has a measurable but limited 
impact on tidal predictions, accounting for only a small fraction of 
observed variability, the Florida Current's influence is more 
substantial, though still insufficient to fully explain the anomalies. 
The findings underscore the complexity of coastal tidal dynamics and 
highlight the need for improved forecasting models that integrate these 
factors. This work provides critical insights for enhancing tidal 
prediction accuracy, thereby aiding in flood risk management for 
vulnerable coastal communities.
