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...

for any given locale to find the predicted times and amplitude (or "tidal range"). The predictions are influenced by many factors including the alignment...

for its cape of Burntcoat Head, the location of the largest recorded tidal range (the greatest difference in height between high tide and low tide) of...

an incident tidal wave can be reinforced by reflections between the coast and the shelf edge, the result producing a much higher tidal range at the coast...

A tidal barrage is a dam-like structure used to capture the energy from masses of water moving in and out of a bay or river due to tidal forces. Instead...

smaller to larger tidal range regions; in rivers, it is a sloping and undulating surface following the low stage. The following tidal phases are commonly...

touching the U.S. state of Maine. It is an arm of the Gulf of Maine. Its tidal range is the highest in the world. The bay was named Bakudabakek by the indigenous...

tide; in other words, it is the part of the littoral zone within the tidal range. This area can include several types of habitats with various species...

annual water level changes are more significant. Because of the small tidal range the water during high tide inundates the coastal sabkhas as a thin sheet...

forms of tidal resource: Tidal range, harnessing potential energy from the height difference between high and low tides, impounding water in a tidal barrage...

has zero tidal amplitude for one harmonic constituent of the tide. The tidal range (the peak-to-peak amplitude, or the height difference between high tide...

Tidal locking between a pair of co-orbiting astronomical bodies occurs when one of the objects reaches a state where there is no longer any net change...

estuary at ebb tide. The inter-tidal prism volume can be expressed by the relationship: P=H A, where H is the average tidal range and A is the average surface...

with a tidal range greater than 4 m (13 ft); mesotidal coasts with a tidal range of 2 to 4 m (6.6 to 13 ft); and microtidal coasts with a tidal range of less...

overall morphology of barrier coasts are related to parameters including tidal range, wave energy, sediment supply, sea-level trends, and basement controls...

Tidal Power Station is a tidal power station located on the estuary of the Rance River in Brittany, France. Opened in 1966 as the world's first tidal...

generation considerations. The station's mean operating tidal range is 5.6 m (18 ft), with a spring tidal range of 7.8 m (26 ft). The working basin area was originally...

South Wales (from Cardiff, Newport to Monmouthshire). Its very high tidal range, approximately 50 feet (15 m), creates valuable intertidal habitats and...

A tidal river is a river whose flow and level are caused by tides. A section of a larger river affected by the tides is a tidal reach, but it may sometimes...

Tides ranges between 4–7 m with the highest tidal range at the Elephant Point in the western Gulf of Martaban. During spring tide, when the tidal range is...
