  2. 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.

  3. Tidal wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_wave

    A tidal bore, which is a large movement of water formed by the funnelling of the incoming tide into a river or narrow bay; A storm surge, or tidal surge, which can cause waves that breach flood defences

    The 12" version of the single was extended by one minute and 50 seconds and called "Silver (Tidal Wave)" and the B-side is the 7" version and "Angels and Devils". The 7" and 12" versions of the title track were recorded at the Studio Des Dames in Paris and the Amazon Studio in Liverpool , while "Angels and Devils" was recorded at The Automat in ...

    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.

    Much of the tidal wave's energy is sprawling and very deep below the sea surface. As a result, tidal waves may not be barely noticeable at sea but can extend miles inland upon reaching the coast.

  7. 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.

  8. Severn bore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severn_Bore

    The wave travels upstream against the river current at a speed of 13 to 21 km/h (8 to 13 mph). [5] In the lower, broader part of the estuary near Avonmouth, the tidal surge advances as a slight roll in the deepwater channels and the water rapidly spreads across the sands and mudbanks. Often, the Severn Bore floods the lower village of Pill if ...

  9. Head of tide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_of_tide

    Head of tide, tidal limit [2] or tidehead [3] is the farthest point upstream where a river is affected by tidal fluctuations, [4] or where the fluctuations are less than a certain amount. [5] The river section influenced by tides and marine forces but without salinity is a tidal river , while downstream areas are brackish and termed estuaries .
