high tide at new or full moon
extremely high and low tides that occur at new and full moon.
Tide of maximum range, occurring at the new and full moon.
Named not for the season of spring, but from the German springen (to leap up). This tide of increased range occurs at times of syzygy (q.v.) each month. A spring tide also brings a lower low water.
Semi-monthly tide of increased height due to the new or full moon.
The tide when ranges between high and low water are greatest. It occurs near full and new moons.
tide that has a large change between low and high tide. It occurs at new and full phase, when the Moon's tidal effect is aligned with the Sun's tidal effect.
These are peak high tides and minimum low tides occurring at the new and full moon when the moon and sun are positioned in opposition to each other.
an exceptionally strong tide, providing the highest of high tides and the lowest of low tides, and actually has nothing to do with the changing seasons
The greatest rise and fall in a tide that occurs when the sun and the moon are in line with the earth.
Tide with the greatest difference between the heights of low and high water
Tide greater than the mean tidal range. Occurs about every two weeks, when the Moon is full or new.
Tides of increased range occurring semimonthly as the result of the Moon being new or full.
tide of large range occurring twice per lunar month during full and new moon phases. See also Tide.
highest tidal range occurring at full and new moon phases
Greater than average range between high and low tide that occurs twice each synodic period around the times of a new and full moon when tidal actions of the Sun and moon are nearly in the same direction
An especially high tide that occurs when the Sun is on the same side of the Earth as the Moon.
The tide with the most variation in water level, occurring during new moons and full moons. This is the time of the highest high tide and the lowest low tide. The opposite of a neap tide.
The highest tide; of the day, month or year.
Exceptionally high tidal ranges which coinside with Full and New moons, high tides are higher than "normal" and low tides are lower than "normal.".
Tides with the greatest range between highs and lows, usually occurring during the full or new moons. Compare with neap tide.
The tide that occurs at new or full Moon when the gravitational influence of the Sun is working primarily in line with the Moon, so that the tidal range is high.
Tides when the range between high water and low water is greatest.
a tide or relatively large range occurring near the times of New or Full Moon.
A tide that occurs at or near the time of a new or full moon, and which rises highest and falls lowest from the mean sea level.
Tide near the time of syzygy, when ranges between high water and low water are greatest. Compare neap tide, tropic tide, equatorial tide.
A tide of increased range, which occurs about every two weeks when the moon is new or full.
exceptionally high tide which coincides with or follows soon after the full and new moons; the term is not related to the season of spring.
