  2. Tidal wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_wave

    A storm surge, or tidal surge, which can cause waves that breach flood defences A tsunami , a series of water waves in a body of water caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, although this usage of "tidal wave" is a misnomer and is disfavored by the scientific community.

  3. Amphidromic point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphidromic_point

    Tidal waves are not perfectly reflected, resulting in energy loss which causes a smaller reflected wave compared to the incoming wave. [8] Consequently, on the northern hemisphere, the amphidromic point will be displaced from the centre line of the channel towards the left of the direction of the incident wave.

  4. Atmospheric tide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_tide

    Figure 2. Eigenvalue ε of wave modes of zonal wave number s = 1 vs. normalized frequency ν = ω/Ω where Ω = 7.27 × 10 −5 s −1 is the angular frequency of one solar day. Waves with positive (negative) frequencies propagate to the east (west). The horizontal dashed line is at ε c ≃ 11 and indicates the transition from internal to ...

  5. Tides in marginal seas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tides_in_marginal_seas

    The tidal wave, a Kelvin wave, enters the domain in the lower left corner and travels to the right with the coast on its right. The sea surface height (SSH, left panels of animation 1), the tidal elevation, is maximum at the coast and decreases towards the centre of the domain.

  6. Nonlinear tides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_tides

    A tidal wave can often be described as a sum of harmonic waves. The principal tide (1st harmonic) refers to the wave which is induced by a tidal force, for example the diurnal or semi-diurnal tide. The latter is often referred to as the tide and will be used throughout the remainder of this article as the principal tide.

    American theatrical release poster by John Solie [5]. Roger Corman bought the U.S. rights to the film for his New World Pictures.He cut out a great deal of footage, added new sequences directed by Andrew Meyer and starring Lorne Greene as an ambassador at the United Nations, and released it as Tidal Wave in May 1975.

  9. Tide-predicting machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide-predicting_machine

    The first tide predicting machine (TPM) was built in 1872 by the Légé Engineering Company. [11] A model of it was exhibited at the British Association meeting in 1873 [12] (for computing 8 tidal components), followed in 1875-76 by a machine on a slightly larger scale (for computing 10 tidal components), was designed by Sir William Thomson (who later became Lord Kelvin).
