  2. Tide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide

    Semi-diurnal tides dominated coastline, but some areas such as the South China Sea and the Gulf of Mexico are primarily diurnal. In the semi-diurnal areas, the primary constituents M 2 (lunar) and S 2 (solar) periods differ slightly, so that the relative phases, and thus the amplitude of the combined tide, change fortnightly (14 day period). [70]

  3. Tide clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide_clock

    This is achieved by storing all the variations of tides at numerous locations. Given a particular location and date/time, a digital tide clock can display the previous tide, next tide and current absolute tide height. Thus, they are able to track semi-diurnal, diurnal and mixed diurnal tides. [3]

  4. Earth tide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_tide

    Its main component has meter-level amplitude at periods of about 12 hours and longer. The largest body tide constituents are semi-diurnal, but there are also significant diurnal, semi-annual, and fortnightly contributions. Though the gravitational force causing earth tides and ocean tides is the same, the responses are quite different.

  5. Atmospheric tide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_tide

    These tides propagate away from the source regions and ascend into the mesosphere and thermosphere. Atmospheric tides can be measured as regular fluctuations in wind, temperature, density and pressure. Although atmospheric tides share much in common with ocean tides they have two key distinguishing features:

  6. Bay of Fundy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_of_Fundy

    Tides are semidiurnal, meaning they have two highs and two lows each day, with about 6 hours and 13 minutes between each high and low tide. [ 3 ] Because of tidal resonance in the funnel-shaped bay, the tides that flow through the channel are very powerful.
