	5486	tide: low	See LOW WATER.
	5487	tide: lunar	That part of the TIDE due solely to the TIDE-PRODUCING FORCES of the MOON, as distinguished from that part caused by the forces of the SUN. ... more That part of the TIDE due solely to the TIDE-PRODUCING FORCES of the MOON, as distinguished from that part caused by the forces of the SUN. See TIDE: SOLAR.

	5490	tide: mixed	The TYPE OF TIDE in which a diurnal WAVE produces large INEQUALITIES in HEIGHTS and/or durations of successive HIGH and/or LOW WATERS. This... more The TYPE OF TIDE in which a diurnal WAVE produces large INEQUALITIES in HEIGHTS and/or durations of successive HIGH and/or LOW WATERS. This term applies to the TIDES intermediate to those predominantly semidiurnal and those predominantly diurnal.

The periods of the partial tides are derived from various combinations of ... more One of the harmonic components comprising the TIDE at any point. The periods of the partial tides are derived from various combinations of the ANGULAR VELOCITIES of EARTH, SUN, MOON, and STARS relative to each other. See HARMONIC CONSTITUENT.
	5496	tide(s): perigean	TIDES of increased RANGE occurring when the MOON is near PERIGEE.
