  • Chapter 5 Water Levels and Flow
    253 CHAPTER 5 WATER LEVELS AND FLOW 1. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this chapter is to provide the hydrographer and technical reader the fundamental information required to understand and apply water levels, derived water level products and datums, and water currents to carry out field operations in support of hydrographic surveying and mapping activities. The hydrographer is concerned not only with the elevation of the sea surface, which is affected significantly by tides, but also with the elevation of lake and river surfaces, where tidal phenomena may have little effect. The term ‘tide’ is traditionally accepted and widely used by hydrographers in connection with the instrumentation used to measure the elevation of the water surface, though the term ‘water level’ would be more technically correct. The term ‘current’ similarly is accepted in many areas in connection with tidal currents; however water currents are greatly affected by much more than the tide producing forces. The term ‘flow’ is often used instead of currents. Tidal forces play such a significant role in completing most hydrographic surveys that tide producing forces and fundamental tidal variations are only described in general with appropriate technical references in this chapter. It is important for the hydrographer to understand why tide, water level and water current characteristics vary both over time and spatially so that they are taken fully into account for survey planning and operations which will lead to successful production of accurate surveys and charts. Because procedures and approaches to measuring and applying water levels, tides and currents vary depending upon the country, this chapter covers general principles using documented examples as appropriate for illustration.

  • Waves and Tides the Preceding Sections Have Dealt with the Types Of
    CHAPTER XIV Waves and Tides .......................................................................................................... Introduction The preceding sections have dealt with the types of motion in the ocean that bring about transport of water massesin a definite direction during a considerable length of time. They have also dealt with the random motion, the turbulence, which is superimposed upon the general flow. Besidesthese types, one has also to consider the oscillating motion characteristic of waves. In general, this motion manifests itself to the observer more by the riseand fall of the sea surface than by the motion of the individual water particles. Waves have attracted attention since before the beginning of recorded history, and in recent years they have been the subject of extensive theoretical studies. Surveys of our knowledge as to the character of ocean waves have been presented by Cornish (1912, 1934), Krtimmel (1911), Patton and Mariner (1932) and by Defant (1929). Lamb (1932) has discussed the hydrodynamic theories of waves, and Thorade (1931) has given a comprehensive review of the theoretical studies of ocean waves and has compiled a long list of literature covering the period from 1687 to 1930. Our understanding of the waves of the ocean, how they are formed and how they travel, is as yet by no means complete. The reason is, in the first place, that actual observations at sea are so difficult that the characteristicsof the waves cannot easily be determined. In the second place, the theories that serve to bring the observed sequence of events in nature into intimate connection with experience gained by other methods of study are still incomplete, particularly because most theories are based on classicalhydrodynamics, which deal with wave motion in an idealized fluid.

  • Tide 1 Tides Are the Rise and Fall of Sea Levels Caused by the Combined
    Tide 1 Tide The Bay of Fundy at Hall's Harbour, The Bay of Fundy at Hall's Harbour, Nova Scotia during high tide Nova Scotia during low tide Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun and the rotation of the Earth. Most places in the ocean usually experience two high tides and two low tides each day (semidiurnal tide), but some locations experience only one high and one low tide each day (diurnal tide). The times and amplitude of the tides at the coast are influenced by the alignment of the Sun and Moon, by the pattern of tides in the deep ocean (see figure 4) and by the shape of the coastline and near-shore bathymetry.[1] [2] [3] Most coastal areas experience two high and two low tides per day. The gravitational effect of the Moon on the surface of the Earth is the same when it is directly overhead as when it is directly underfoot. The Moon orbits the Earth in the same direction the Earth rotates on its axis, so it takes slightly more than a day—about 24 hours and 50 minutes—for the Moon to return to the same location in the sky. During this time, it has passed overhead once and underfoot once, so in many places the period of strongest tidal forcing is 12 hours and 25 minutes. The high tides do not necessarily occur when the Moon is overhead or underfoot, but the period of the forcing still determines the time between high tides.

  • Chapter 8 Coasts
    CHAPTER 8 COASTS 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The term coastal studies, which is in common use for a great variety of approaches to coastlines, covers a large area of endeavor. What do I mean by the term coastal? There are various definitions or interpretations, depending on how much or how little is included seaward and landward of the shoreline. The shoreline is fairly generally taken to be the line or trace where the sea meets the land, and this is fairly well defined except in areas with estuaries, tidal flats, etc., unless you want to quibble about where the high-water line is. 1.2 In this course I’m going to interpret the term coast in a fairly broad sense to mean a marine area extending from the shoreline out onto the continental shelf for some distance, together with some land area immediately landward of the shoreline. This admittedly sloppy definition succeeds in generally including areas both seaward and landward of the shoreline in which a great variety of processes operate that most people would categorize as coastal processes. I intend the definition to include only the innermost part of the continental shelf, the part that’s most strongly affected by the adjacent shoreline. (The continental shelf is the broad belt of shallow water adjacent to the coastline. In many areas of the world it is as much as a few hundred kilometers wide, and water depths at the shelf edge are no more than about two hundred meters.) In many coastal areas there’s a well defined coastal plain that may be well over a hundred kilometers wide; only the part nearest the shoreline, directly affected by modern coastal processes, is included in my definition.

  • NTC Glossary 2010 Tidal Terminology
    NTC Glossary 2010 Tidal Terminology absolute sea level When sea level is referenced to the centre of the Earth, it is sometimes referred to as “absolute”, as opposed to “relative”, which is referenced to a point (eg. a coastal benchmark) whose vertical position may vary over time. acoustic tide gauge A unit which sends an acoustic pulse through free air down a sounding tube to the water’s surface and measures the return time. The return travel time though the air between a transmitter/receiver and the water surface below is converted to sea level. admittance Used in the response method of tidal analysis, response method analysis consists of determining a set of complex weights (typically five), which define the admittance of the response system at a given frequency. Once known, the admittance, combined with the known coefficients on the spherical harmonics representing the tide-generating potential, can be used to deduce the amplitude and phase of the usual harmonics (M2, S2, etc.). Admittance is sometimes defined as the ratio of the spectra of the sea level and the equilibrium tide (or tide-generating potential), and sometimes as the ratio of their cross-spectrum and the spectrum of the equilibrium tide. Being a complex quantity, it has both amplitude and phase. (*) From the “Australian Hydrographic Office Glossary” age of the tide The delay in time between the transit of the moon and the highest spring tide. Normally one or two days, but it varies widely. In other words, in many places the maximum tidal range occurs one or two days after the new or full moon, and the minimum range occurs a day or two after first and third quarter.

    CHAPTER 35 TIDES AND TIDAL CURRENTS ORIGINS OF TIDES 3500. Introduction Newton’s universal law of gravitation governs both the orbits of celestial bodies and the tide-generating forces Tides are the periodic motion of the waters of the sea which occur on them. The force of gravitational attraction due to changes in the attractive forces of the Moon and Sun between any two masses, m1 and m2, is given by: upon the rotating Earth. Tides can either help or hinder a mariner. A high tide may provide enough depth to clear a Gm1m2 F --------------------= bar, while a low tide may prevent entering or leaving a 2 harbor. Tidal current may help progress or hinder it, may set d the ship toward dangers or away from them. By understanding tides and making intelligent use of where d is the distance between the two masses, and G is the predictions published, the navigator can plan an universal gravitational constant which depends upon the expeditious and safe passage through tidal waters. units employed. This law assumes that m1 and m2 are point masses. Newton was able to show that homogeneous 3501. Tide and Current spheres could be treated as point masses when determining their orbits. The rise and fall of tide is accompanied by horizontal However, when computing differential gravitational forces, movement of the water called tidal current. It is necessary the actual dimensions of the masses must be taken into to distinguish clearly between tide and tidal current, for the account. relation between them is complex and variable. For the sake Using the law of gravitation, it is found that the orbits of clarity mariners have adopted the following definitions: of two point masses are conic sections about the Tide is the vertical rise and fall of the water, and tidal barycenter of the two masses.
