Winnapaug Pond (also known as Brightman Pond [2]) is a breached saltwater lagoon in Westerly, Rhode Island, United States, connected to Block Island Sound by the Weekapaug Breachway, which was constructed during the mid-1950s. [3] [4] The 2.5-mile (4.0 km) lake is separated from the Atlantic by a large sandbar.
Weekapaug (/ ˈ w iː k ə p ɔː ɡ /) is a census-designated place in southern Washington County, Rhode Island, United States, part of the town of Westerly. The population was 425 at the 2010 census .
Tide tables, sometimes called tide charts, are used for tidal prediction and show the daily times and levels of high and low tides, usually for a particular location. [1] Tide heights at intermediate times (between high and low water) can be approximated by using the rule of twelfths or more accurately calculated by using a published tidal ...
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 by the Moon and Sun, by Earth's rotation and by centrifugal force caused by Earth's progression around the Earth-Moon barycenter. Tidal range depends on time and location.
LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Fishing and Father's Day go hand in hand, just like a fish and, well, water. The Greater Lafayette area is filled with fishing spots, big and small, but if you go in ...
A chart datum is the water level surface serving as origin of depths displayed on a nautical chart and for reporting and predicting tide heights. A chart datum is generally derived from some tidal phase, in which case it is also known as a tidal datum. [1] Common chart datums are lowest astronomical tide (LAT) [1] and mean lower low water (MLLW).
The semi-diurnal tides go through one full cycle (a high and low tide) about once every 12 hours and one full cycle of maximum height (a spring and neap tide) about once every 14 days. The semi-diurnal tide (one maximum every 12 or so hours) is primarily lunar (only S 2 is purely solar) and gives rise to sectorial (or sectoral) deformations ...
The amphidromic points are the dark blue areas where the lines come together. An amphidromic point, also called a tidal node, is a geographical location where there is little or no difference in sea height between high tide and low tide; it has zero tidal amplitude for one harmonic constituent of the tide.
