According to the Environmental Protection Agency’s king tides fact sheet “Sea level rise will make today’s king tides become the future everyday tides.”. Put another way, Monday’s high ...
By 2050, NOAA predicted that Miami could see 35 to 60 days of high tide flooding. That’s a jump from last year’s 2050 prediction of 10 to 55 days, likely a nod to the brand new sea level rise ...
Tide tables, sometimes called tide charts, are used for tidal prediction and show the daily times and levels of high and low tides, usually for a particular location. [1] Tide heights at intermediate times (between high and low water) can be approximated by using the rule of twelfths or more accurately calculated by using a published tidal ...
Miami Beach encounters tidal flooding of certain roads during the annual king tides, [43] though some tidal flooding has been the case for decades, [44] as the parts of the western side of South Beach [45] are at virtually 0 ft (0 m) above normal high tide, [46] with the entire city averaging only 4.4 ft (1.3 m) above mean sea level (AMSL). [47]
Tidal range is the difference in height between high tide and low tide. Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and Sun, by Earth's rotation and by centrifugal force caused by Earth's progression around the Earth-Moon barycenter. Tidal range depends on time and location.

A chart datum is the water level surface serving as origin of depths displayed on a nautical chart and for reporting and predicting tide heights. A chart datum is generally derived from some tidal phase, in which case it is also known as a tidal datum. [1] Common chart datums are lowest astronomical tide (LAT) [1] and mean lower low water (MLLW).
