Abstract

For residents and fishermen in coastal cities, tidal phenomena are a dangerous existence, and for tidal power stations, tidal phenomena will bring clean energy to them. For the formation of tidal phenomena, the most closely related is the distance between the Earth and the Moon. Therefore, this paper collects the tides and Earth-Moon records in New York in 2022, and performs data visualization operations on the data, and uses STL (Seasonal Decomposition of Time Series), MSTL (Multiple Seasonal-Trend Decomposition using Loess) models to predict, so as to explore the concern between the Earth-Moon distance and tides. Monthly seasonality is found from our analysis as well as the general trend which follows the research results regarding to earth moon distance variation. The results show that when the Earth is close enough in the Moon, the tides are more pronounced.
