2. Tide table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide_table

   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 ...

3. King tide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_tide

   King tides are the highest tides. They are naturally occurring, predictable events. Tides are the movement of water across Earth's surface caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon, Sun, and the rotation of Earth which manifest in the local rise and fall of sea levels.

   South Florida is made up of a lot of low-lying areas near the water, and as the sea rises, king tides will reach farther and farther inland. It overwhelms storm drains, stops traffic routes and ...

5. Tidal flooding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_flooding

   Tidal flooding, also known as sunny day flooding [1] or nuisance flooding, [2] is the temporary inundation of low-lying areas, especially streets, during exceptionally high tide events, such as at full and new moons. The highest tides of the year may be known as the king tide, with the month varying by location. These kinds of floods tend not ...

   King Tides and an unusually high low tide will raise sea levels along Florida’s Gulf Coast just as Hurricane Idalia hits.

7. Chart datum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart_datum

   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).

8. Rule of twelfths - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_twelfths

   In many parts of the world the tides approximate to a semi-diurnal sine curve, that is there are two high- and two low- tides per day. As an estimate then each period equates to 1 hour, with the tide rising by 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, finally 1 twelfths of its total range in each hour, from low tide to high tide in about 6 hours, then the tide is ...

9. Tide clock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide_clock

   Tide range is the vertical distance between the highest high tide and lowest low tide. The size of the lunar tide compared to the solar tide (which comes once every 12 hours) is generally about 2 to 1, but the actual proportion along any particular shore depends on the location, orientation, and shape of the local bay or estuary.
