HARMONIC FUNCTION
Any real function that satisfies a certain equation. In its simplest form, as used in tide and tidal current predictions, it is a quantity that varies as the cosine of an angle that increases uniformly with time
|
HARMONIC CONSTANTS
The amplitudes and epochs of the harmonic constituents of the tide or tidal current at any place
|
HIGH WATER INEQUALITY
The difference between the heights of the two high waters during a tidal day
|
HIGH WATER
The maximum height reached by a rising tide. The height may be due solely to the periodic tidal forces or it may have super- imposed upon it the effects of prevailing meteorological condi- tions. Use of the synonymous term HIGH TIDE is discouraged.
|
HALF-TIDE LEVEL
A tidal datum midway between mean high water and mean low water. Mean sea level may coincide with half-tide level, but seldom does; the variation is generally about 3 centimeters and rarely exceeds 6 centimeters. Also called MEAN TIDE LEVEL.
|
HARMONIC PREDICTION
Method of predicting tides and tidal currents by combining the harmonic constituents into a single tide curve, usually performed by computer.
|
HIGHER LOWER WATER
The higher of the two low waters of any tidal day
|
HIGHER HIGH WATER
The higher of the two high waters of any tidal day.
|
HARMONIC ANALYSIS
The process by which the observed tide or tidal current at any place is separated into basic harmonic constituents. Also called HARMONIC REDUCTION.
|
MUD FLAT
A tidal flat composed of mud.
