Variables Used

Ocean Tide Amplitude - (Measured in Meter) - Ocean Tide Amplitude is the height difference between high and low tides, reflecting gravitational forces from the moon and sun.
River or Freshwater Inflow to a Bay - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - River or Freshwater Inflow to a Bay is the water that is less saline than marine water.
Tidal Period - (Measured in Second) - Tidal Period is the time taken for a specific site on Earth to rotate from an exact point under moon to same point under moon, also known as “tidal day” and it’s slightly longer than a solar day.
King’s Dimensionless Variable for Freshwater - King’s Dimensionless Variable for Freshwater is a metric used in fluid dynamics to characterize flow patterns in freshwater environments succinctly.
Surface Area of Bay - (Measured in Square Meter) - Surface Area of Bay is defined as a small body of water set off from the main body.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

River or Freshwater Inflow to a Bay: 10 Cubic Meter per Minute --> 0.166666666666667 Cubic Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Tidal Period: 130 Second --> 130 Second No Conversion Required
King’s Dimensionless Variable for Freshwater: 0.57 --> No Conversion Required
Surface Area of Bay: 1.5001 Square Meter --> 1.5001 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

a_o = (Qr*T)/(Qr'*2*pi*A_b) --> (0.166666666666667*130)/(0.57*2*pi*1.5001)

Evaluating ... ...

a_o = 4.03289733938721

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.03289733938721 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.03289733938721 ≈ 4.032897 Meter <-- Ocean Tide Amplitude

What are the Effect of Freshwater Inflow?

If a significant amount of fresh water is introduced into the bay relative to the tidal prism of the inlet, there will be significant changes in bay tide range and velocity through the inlet. King (1974) included freshwater inflow into a Keulegan type model (which did not include the inertial term in the 1-D equation of motion).
