Accurate predictions of tide levels could not be obtained without a large length of tide measurements by conventional methods. The Back-Propagation Neural Network (PBN) was applied to predict long term semi-diurnal tidal level. Based on the model, the different tide types for other two field data, referred as the diurnal and mixed types, are further to test the performance of PBN model. The results also present that one-year tidal level forecasting can be satisfactorily achieved using a half-month length of observed data for these two tide types. ER -
