58. Grazie Mille!
Team Hydro would like to thank…
…The Instituzione Centro Previsioni e Segnalazioni Maree for taking the
time out of their busy schedules to give us a tour of their facility, to
provide us with daily tide forecasts through personal e-mail and to
provide us with the details that we needed to complete this project.
…Georg Umgiesser, Elisa Coraci, and Luca Zaggia, of ISMAR, for
collaborating with us on the model.
…Paolo Peretti, of IPROS, for lending us all of his equipment, and taking
the time to take us out on his boat.
...And lastly to our advisors Professor Fabio Carrera and Professor
Frederick Bianchi for without their guidance we would not have been
able to complete this project in such a successful manner.
