      • The higher the coefficient, the greater the tidal range, means the greater the difference in level between high tide and low tide. A high coefficient means a “large tide” while a low coefficient indicates a “small tide”.
  1. The highest possible tidal coefficient is 120, corresponding to the greatest high or low tide there can be, excluding meteorological effects. Tidal coefficients are calculated from the following sun and moon parameters: straight ascension, declination, parallax and the distance between the Earth and the celestial body.

  3. Nov 20, 2023 · The higher the coefficient, the greater the tidal range, means the greater the difference in level between high tide and low tide. A high coefficient means a “large tide” while a low coefficient indicates a “small tide”.

  4. The difference in height between the high tide and the low tide is called the tidal range. A horizontal movement of water often accompanies the rising and falling of the tide. This is called the tidal current.

  5. The tidal range is the difference between the ocean level at high tide and the ocean at low tide (Figure below). The tidal range in a location depends on a number of factors, including the slope of the seafloor. Water appears to move a greater distance on a gentle slope than on a steep slope.

  6. The difference in height between high tide and low tide is called the tidal range. What causes tides? Tides are due to the combined effects of gravitational attraction and the revolution of the Earth-moon system about its common centre of mass.

  7. Feb 15, 2022 · The tidal coefficient indicates the amplitude of the tide. It is a calculated numerical indication that oscillates from 20 for the lowest coefficients to 120. We say that we are in neap tide (ME) when the coefficient is below 70 and in spring tide (VE) when it is above 70.

  8. Jun 10, 2024 · The moon oscillates between 28.5 o north and 28.5 o south of the equator every two weeks, leading to uneven tidal heights each day at a particular latitude (PW). Finally, the continents and the bottom topography of the oceans have an impact on the tides that are experienced in an area.
