Tidal flow timings and velocities appear in tide charts or a tidal stream atlas. Tide charts come in sets. Each chart covers a single hour between one high water and another (they ignore the leftover 24 minutes) and show the average tidal flow for that hour.
In tidal work, each constituent (cosine curve) is more often described by its speed (or frequency in degrees per hour). The cosine curve is divided into 360° (from crest to crest). The speed n of the constituent is 360°/P. Thus, for S2, n = 360°/12.00 = 30°/hr; for M2, n = 360°/12.42 = 28.984°/hr.

Tidal currents are simply the horizontal water motions associated with the passage of the tide wave, whatever the nature of that tide wave. Remember that tidal waves are very long compared to the water depth, so they are shallow-water waves. The water motion associated with such waves is a back-and-forth oscillation, actually an extremely flat ...
19. Okt. 2023 · The flow of water from high tide to low tide is called an ebb tide. Most tides are semidiurnal , which means they take place twice a day. For example, when an area covered by the ocean faces the moon , the moon ’s gravitational force on the water causes a high high tide .
28. März 2023 · Tides are another type of wave motion – a change in the ocean water level that typically reaches a high and low twice a day, about six hours apart (called a semi-diurnal tide). The change from low to high tide is called the "flood tide" or “flow”.
Basically, tides are very long-period waves that move through the oceans in response to the forces exerted by the moon and sun. Tides originate in the oceans and progress toward the coastlines where they appear as the regular rise and fall of the sea surface.
Tidal Currents 1. Currents Tutorial. Tidal currents occur in conjunction with the rise and fall of the tide. The vertical motion of the tides near the shore causes the water to move horizontally, creating currents. When a tidal current moves toward the land and away from the sea, it “floods.”
