Each satellite image is captured at a different stage of the tide, therefore a tidal correction is necessary to remove the apparent shoreline changes cause by tidal fluctuations.

![example_tides](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f0b0c29d-2db8-450c-86f2-73614a6a0940)

Once you have the tide levels, you need an estimate of the beach slope. You can provide this manually (e.g., 0.1 for all transects) or you can also estimate it using the satellite-derived shorelines and tide levels using

You will also need an estimate of the beach-face slope along each transect. If you don't have this data you can obtain it using [CoastSat.slope](https://github.com/kvos/CoastSat.slope), see [Vos et al. 2020](https://doi.org/10.1029/2020GL088365) for more details (preprint available [here](https://www.essoar.org/doi/10.1002/essoar.10502903.2)).
Once you have the tide levels, you need an estimate of the beach slope. You can provide this manually (e.g., 0.1 for all transects) or you can also estimate it using the satellite-derived shorelines and tide levels inside the notebook, see the Beach Slope estimation scetion. This parts uses the [CoastSat.slope](https://github.com/kvos/CoastSat.slope) repository, for more details on the methodology see [Vos et al. 2020](https://doi.org/10.1029/2020GL088365) (preprint available [here](https://www.essoar.org/doi/10.1002/essoar.10502903.2)).
