http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/bathymetry/relief.html has an interesting survey on bathymetric data. But I don't think we need a realistic simulation of the effect for use in Flightgear, changing colours according to the tidal changes should be sufficient. This could be done by declaring respective areas of the ocean as tideland and moving the shoreline proportionally to the time that has passed since the last hig- or low-tides. Still someone would have to develop a schema to calculate the tides ....
