Is it possible to predict the maximum daily/annual tide height without calculating hourly heights?

It depends on what you are trying to achieve. If you need exact figures for the maximum tidal height each day/year at a given location, there are no simple analytical solutions due to the complex ...

Is it possible to predict the maximum daily/annual tide height without calculating hourly heights?

You are looking for an easy solution to the local maxima of $$\sum_i a_i \sin(\theta_i+\omega_i t)$$ This means solving for solutions to $$\sum_i a_i \omega_i \cos(\theta_i+\omega_i t) = 0$$ This is a ...

How to quantitively compare two seismic waveform data?

This might be too late, but here's my answer: You can acess the fit between two waveforms by simply taking the difference at first, let's call that a residual, taking the $L_p$ norm of the residual ...
