Horizontales
A complex tidal cycle, usually with two high tides and two low tides of unequal height per day.
A tidal cycle of one high tide and one low tide per day.
The low-water position corresponding to a tidal trough.
The difference in height between consecutive high and low tides.
A time of no tide-induced currents that occurs when the current changes direction.
A tide influenced by the weather. Arrival of a storm surge will alter the estimate of a tides height or arrival time, as will a strong, steady onshore or offshore wind.
Periodic short-term change in the height of the ocean surface at a particular place, generated by long-wavelength progressive waves that are caused by the interaction of gravitational force and inertia. Movement of Earth beneath tide crests results in the rhythmic rising and falling of sea level.
Water rushing into an enclosed harbor or bay because of the rise in sea level as a tide crest approaches.
The time of smallest variation between high and low tides occurring when Earth, moon, and sun align at right angles. Neap tides alternate with spring tides, occurring at 2-week intervals.
A high, often breaking wave generated by a tide crest that advances rapidly up an estuary or river.
The point in a satellite's orbit where it is farthest from the sun.
A tidal cycle of two high tides and two low tides each lunar day, with the high tides of nearly equal height.
Water rushing out of an enclosed harbor or bay because of the fall in sea level as a tide trough approaches.
Verticales
The reference level (0.0) from which tidal height is measured.
The height of the ocean surface averaged over a few years time.
Tide caused by the gravitational and inertial interaction of the sun and Earth.
The time of greatest variation between high and low tides occurring when Earth, moon, and sun form a straight line. Spring tides alternate with neap tides throughout the year, occurring at 2-week intervals.
Tides caused by inertia and the gravitational force of the sun and moon.
Mass flow of water induced by the raising or lowering of sea level caused by passage of tidal crests or troughs.
The point in a satellite's orbit where it is farthest from the Earth.
The point in the orbit of a satellite where it is closest to the main body; opposite of apogee.
The point in the orbit of a satellite where it is closest to the sun; opposite of aphelion.
