	5465	tidal stream	See CURRENT: TIDAL.
	5466	tidal theories	The different theories trying to describe the tidal phenomena.
	5467	tidal water	Any water the level of which changes periodically due to tidal action. See TIDEWATER.
	5468	tidal wave	See WAVE.
	5469	tide	The periodic RISE and fall of the surface of OCEANS, BAYS, etc., due principally to the gravitational interactions between the MOON, SUN an... more The periodic RISE and fall of the surface of OCEANS, BAYS, etc., due principally to the gravitational interactions between the MOON, SUN and EARTH.
	5470	tide: analysis	The mathematical processes by which the observed TIDE or TIDAL CURRENT are analyzed to obtain constituents and statistics.
	5471	tide(s): apogean	TIDES of decreased RANGE occurring when the MOON is near APOGEE.
	5472	tide: astronomical	TIDE due to the attraction of the SUN and MOON, in contrast to a METEOROLOGICAL TIDE, caused by meterological conditions. EQUILIBRIUM TIDE.
	5473	tide: compound	A tide constituent with a SPEED equal to the sum or difference of the SPEEDS of two or more basic constituents. Compound tides usually occu... more A tide constituent with a SPEED equal to the sum or difference of the SPEEDS of two or more basic constituents. Compound tides usually occur in SHALLOW WATER regions. See SHALLOW WATER CONSTITUENT.
	5474	tide: diurnal	A TIDE in which the TIDAL CYCLE consists of one HIGH WATER and one LOW WATER each TIDAL DAY. In British terminology also called single day t... more A TIDE in which the TIDAL CYCLE consists of one HIGH WATER and one LOW WATER each TIDAL DAY. In British terminology also called single day tide.
	5475	tide: double	A double-headed TIDE. Also called agger. See HIGH WATER: DOUBLE and LOW WATER: DOUBLE.
	5476	tide: earth	Periodic movement of the EARTH's CRUST caused by the TIDE-PRODUCING FORCES of the MOON and SUN.
	5477	tide: ebb	See TIDE: FALLING.
	5478	tide(s): equatorial	TIDES that occur approximately every two weeks when the MOON is over the EQUATOR. At these times, the MOON produces minimum DIURNAL INEQUAL... more TIDES that occur approximately every two weeks when the MOON is over the EQUATOR. At these times, the MOON produces minimum DIURNAL INEQUALITY in the TIDE.
	5479	tide: equilibrium	A hypothetical TIDE based upon the assumption that the water responds, instantly to the TIDE-PRODUCING FORCES of the MOON and SUN, and form... more A hypothetical TIDE based upon the assumption that the water responds, instantly to the TIDE-PRODUCING FORCES of the MOON and SUN, and forms a surface of EQUILIBRIUM under the action of these forces, disregarding friction, inertia and the irregular distribution of the land masses.
	5480	tide(s): equinoctial spring	Those TIDES occurring near the EQUINOXES when the FULL or NEW MOON and the SUN have little or low DECLINATION and SPRING TIDES of greater RA... more Those TIDES occurring near the EQUINOXES when the FULL or NEW MOON and the SUN have little or low DECLINATION and SPRING TIDES of greater RANGE than the average occur, particularly if the MOON is also nearly in PERIGEE.
