潮差是决定当地平均海平面垂直位置的一个因素，也是总水位和沿海洪水的一个因素。因此，在很大范围内了解潮差的空间分布和潮差的时间变化是重要的。历史潮差知识既可以通过观测获得，也可以通过建模获得。本文回顾了从十年到千年时间尺度上的历史潮差变化的大量观测和模拟研究。它还讨论了导致这些变化的许多物理过程。最后，本文讨论了几个试图限制沿海环境潮差未来变化的建模研究。
Tidal range is one factor in determining the vertical location of local mean sea level, and it is also a contributor to total water levels and coastal flooding. It is therefore important to understand both the spatial distribution of tidal range and the temporal variation in tidal range, over a wide range of scales. Knowledge of historic tidal range is obtained both through observations and through modeling. This paper reviews numerous observational and modeling studies of historic tidal range variations on decadal to millennial timescales. It also discusses many of the physical processes that are responsible for these variations. Finally, this paper concludes with discussion of several modeling studies that seek to constrain future changes in tidal range in coastal environments.
