    Tide Simplified by Phil Clegg Sea Kayaking Anglesey

    Tide Simplified By Phil Clegg Sea Kayaking Anglesey Tide is one of those areas that the more you learn about it, the more you realise you don’t know. As sea kayakers, and not necessarily scientists, we don’t have to know every detail but a simplified understanding can help us to understand and predict what we might expect to see when we are out on the water. In this article we look at the areas of tide you need to know about without having to look it up in a book. Causes of tides To understand tide is convenient to imagine the earth with an envelope of water all around it, spinning once every 24 hours on its north-south axis with the moon on a line parallel to the equator. Moon Gravity A B Earth Ocean C The tides are primarily caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon. Simplifying a bit, at point A the gravitational pull is the strongest causing a high tide, point B experiences a medium pull towards the moon, while point C has the weakest pull causing a second high tide. Because the earth spins once every 24 hours, at any location on its surface there are two high tides and two low tides a day. There are approximately six hours between high tide and low tide. One way of predicting the approximate time of high tide is to add 50 minutes to the high tide of the previous day. The sun has a similar but weaker gravitational effect on the tides. On average this is about 40 percent of that of the moon.
  • WATER ENVIRONMENT A3d.1 INTRODUCTION

    WATER ENVIRONMENT A3d.1 INTRODUCTION

    Offshore Energy SEA APPENDIX 3d - WATER ENVIRONMENT A3d.1 INTRODUCTION A number of aspects of the water environment are reviewed below in a UK context, and for individual Regional Seas: • The major water masses and residual circulation patterns in UK seas • Density stratification (influenced principally by temperature and salinity) and frontal zones between different water masses – these represent potentially important areas for biological productivity • Tidal flows • Overall patterns of temperature and salinity • Wave climate • Ambient noise Recent assessments of changes in hydrographic conditions are summarised, based mainly on reports by DEFRA (2004a, b) and MCCIP (2007). Overall, significant anomalies and changes have been noted in sea surface temperature (SST), thermal stratification, circulation patterns, wave climate, pH and sea level – many appear to be correlated to atmospheric climate variability as described by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Larger- scale trends and process changes have also been noted in the North Atlantic (e.g. in the strength of the Gulf Stream and Atlantic Heat Conveyor (more properly characterised as the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), or the Atlantic Thermohaline circulation (THC) e.g. Trumper 2005), Northern Hemisphere (Weijerman et al. 2005) and globally (IPCC 2007a). There are varying degrees of confidence in the interpretation of observed data and prediction of future trends. Finally, the specific environmental issue of eutrophication is summarised. This is an area of concern in specific geographical areas, notably the southern North Sea and various coastal and estuarine locations. A3d.2 UK CONTEXT The history of broadscale studies of North Sea circulation and hydrographic patterns (e.g. temperature and salinity distribution) was briefly reviewed in SEA 2.

Equally important, Mary Morris of Archipelago Marine Research, Inc. (ARCHI) developed the biological component to ShoreZone, participated in many of the Alaskan surveys, and leads the biological habitat mapping efforts. CORI and ARCHI have provided experienced team members for aerial survey navigation, imaging, geomorphic and biological narration, and habitat mapping, each of whom contributed significantly to the overall success of the program. We gratefully acknowledge the support of organizations working in partnership for the Alaska ShoreZone effort, including over 40 local, state, and federal agencies and organizations.

    PART 2: REGIONAL LOCATIONAL GUIDANCE FOR MARINE ENERGY 101 SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION TO REGIONAL LOCATIONAL GUIDANCE FOR MARINE ENERGY FOCUS OF THE REGIONAL LOCATIONAL GUIDANCE (RLG) FOR MARINE 100m. It is recognised that depths greater than 60m may be a current ENERGY economic/practical limit for seabed tidal devices, but deeper deployments may be viable. Wave devices are capable of significantly greater water depth deployment The Regional Locational Guidance (RLG) for Marine energy (wave and tidal due to the use of moorings. stream energy) has been prepared in support of the MSP Framework and the rapid increase in interest in the development of wave and tidal energy within the Tidal devices operating in water depths of less than 30m may be feasible in areas Pentland Firth. where vessel movements may be excluded or where development of the device results in a very low height requirement. The aims of the RLG are twofold: Bathymetry information has been obtained from UKHO admiralty chart data 1. Provide guidance to marine renewable energy developers on potential (Seazone). Given the age and limited sounding information used to form these areas of opportunity for future development and to highlight likely requirements for charts, it is likely that there are areas where the actual bathymetry may vary surveys, monitoring or interactions with existing uses that may be issues for significantly from that currently recorded. development. Tidal current information has been based on a hydrodynamic model operated by 2. Progress the marine spatial planning process in a way which enables Metoc based on a 200m rectilinear grid. The model is adequate for identifying the stakeholders and decision makers to respond to the rapid increase in interest in main resource areas but may be too coarse for the inter-island areas with narrow marine renewable energy developments whilst enabling ‘issues’ relating to other channels and poorly resolved bathymetry data.
