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. 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).

4. Lunitidal interval - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunitidal_interval

   The lunitidal interval [1] measures the time lag from lunar culmination to the next high tide at a given location. It is also called the high water interval (HWI). [2] [3] Sometimes a term is not used for the time lag, but instead the terms age or establishment of the tide are used for the entry that is in tide tables.

5. Tidal range - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_range

   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.

6. Hell Gate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_Gate

   The name "Hell Gate" is a corruption of the Low German or Dutch phrase Hellegat which means “bright gate”. It first appeared on a Dutch map as Helle Gadt. [2] The name was originally applied to the entirety of the East River, by Dutch explorer Adriaen Block, the first European known to have navigated the strait, who bestowed the name sometime during his 1614–1616 voyage aboard the Onrust ...

7. Tide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide

   The water stops rising, reaching a local maximum called high tide. Sea level falls over several hours, revealing the intertidal zone; ebb tide. Oscillating currents produced by tides are known as tidal streams or tidal currents. The moment that the tidal current ceases is called slack water or slack tide. The tide then reverses direction and is ...

   The Yuletide season has finally ground to a halt. The city’s annual Mulchfest rang out the holidays this year by setting a record for harvesting old Christmas trees in a normal year — as some ...

9. Nautical chart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautical_chart

   On nautical charts, the top of the chart is always true north, rather than magnetic north, towards which a compass points. Most charts include a compass rose depicting the variation between magnetic and true north. However, the use of the Mercator projection has drawbacks. This projection shows the lines of longitude as parallel.
