Tools from `eo-tides` are designed to be applied directly to petabytes of freely available satellite data loaded from the cloud using Open Data Cube's `odc-stac` or `datacube` packages (e.g. using [Digital Earth Australia](https://knowledge.dea.ga.gov.au/guides/setup/gis/stac/) or [Microsoft Planetary Computer's](https://planetarycomputer.microsoft.com/) SpatioTemporal Asset Catalogue). Additional functionality enables evaluating potential satellite-tide biases, and validating modelled tides using external tide gauge data — both important considerations for assessing the reliability and accuracy of coastal EO workflows. In combination, these open source tools support the efficient, scalable and robust analysis of coastal EO data for any time period or location globally.

![An example of a typical `eo-tides` coastal EO workflow, with tide heights being modelled into every pixel in a spatio-temporal stack of satellite data (for example, from ESA's Sentinel-2 or NASA/USGS Landsat), then combined to derive insights into dynamic coastal environments.\label{fig:abstract}](../assets/eo-tides-abstract.gif)

# Statement of need
Satellite remote sensing offers an unparalleled method to view and examine dynamic coastal environments over large temporal and spatial scales [@turner2021satellite; @vitousek2023future]. However, the variable and sometimes extreme influence of ocean tides in these regions can complicate analyses, making it difficult to separate the influence of changing tides from patterns of true coastal change over time [@vos2019coastsat]. This is a particularly significant challenge for continental- to global-scale coastal EO analyses, where failing to account for complex tide dynamics can lead to inaccurate or misleading insights into coastal processes observed by satellites.
