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...

energy, tidal energy has traditionally suffered from relatively high cost and limited availability of sites with sufficiently high tidal ranges or flow...

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

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...

water level. A tidal bore takes place during the flood tide and never during the ebb tide. A tidal bore may take on various forms, ranging from a single...

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...

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...

Maine. Its tidal range is the highest in the world. The name is probably a corruption of the French word fendu, meaning 'split'. The tidal range in the Bay...

between different estuaries and depends on the volume of freshwater, the tidal range, and the extent of evaporation of the water in the estuary. Drowned river...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

and the lunar and the solar tidal maxima and minima (bulges and depressions) add together for the greatest tidal range at particular latitudes. At first-...

stations that run on tidal power, both tidal range (impoundment via a barrage) and tidal stream (harnessing currents). Since tidal stream generators are...

river estuaries or deltas where there is a significant tidal range. It is achieved by excavating tidal canals from the riverbank into the mainland, allowing...

"no evidence for an increase in seismicity during intervals of large tidal range but there is clear evidence for small but significant increase in earthquake...

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

Sun are aligned at perigee and perihelion, resulting in the largest tidal range seen over the course of a year. So, tides are enhanced when the Earth...

A tidal atlas or a tidal stream atlas is used to predict the direction and speed of tidal currents. A tidal atlas usually consists of a set of 12 or 13...

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...

Undersea mountain ranges are mountain ranges that are mostly or entirely underwater, and specifically under the surface of an ocean. If originated from...

Bay and the upper reaches of the Bristol Channel experience a large tidal range. The shipping ports in Swansea Bay are Swansea Docks, Port Talbot Docks...
