This research focuses on investigating the correlation between ship coordinates and sea high-low levels in the Straits of Malacca, utilizing data obtained from the Automatic Identification System (AIS) through an AIS receiver strategically installed at the campus building. The raw data collected from ship traffic in the Malacca Straits undergoes meticulous processing to derive movement patterns and precise ship coordinates. By calculating the distances between these ship coordinates and referencing the AIS receiver, the research aims to identify the highest values of these distances within hourly and daily time frames, crucially indicating tidal patterns and sea high-low levels in the straits. The study proposes the application of a simple harmonic equation to estimate the tide’s height based on the observed ship-sea correlation. The outcomes of this research hold significant potential for advancing our understanding of tidal and wave dynamics in the Straits of Malacca, benefiting the field of marine forecasting and navigation. Furthermore, the findings offer valuable insights for coastal management and disaster preparedness in the region, ultimately benefiting various maritime industries, environmental conservation efforts, and coastal communities. The comprehensive analysis presented in this thesis provides substantial contributions to the field of oceanography and offers practical implications for enhancing safety and sustainable practices in the straits and similar maritime regions. © SEECMAR | All rights reserved.
