A water current generated by regularly varying tidal forces.
Horizontal motion of water responding to changes in sea level during a tidal cycle
A horizontal movement of the water caused by gravitational interactions between the Sun, Moon, and Earth. The horizontal component of the particulate motion of a tidal wave. Part of the same general movement of the sea that is manifested in the vertical rise and fall called tide. The United States equivalent of the British tidal stream. See tidal wave, tide, and current.
Currents of water that are produced in response to a rising or falling tide. These currents can flow into or out of a bay, delivering the rising water or removing the falling water.
A horizontal displacement of ocean water under the gravitational influence of Sun and Moon, causing the water to pile up against the coast at high tide and move ourward at low tide.
the water current caused by the tides
The alternating horizontal movement of water associated with the rise and fall of the tide caused by astronomical tide-producing forces
An alternating, horizontal movement of water associated with the rise and fall of the tide, these movements being caused by gravitational forces due to the relative motions of Moon, Sun and Earth.
Circulation of water within coastal embayments caused by changing tides.
Regional scale ocean current that is created the tidal rise and fall of the ocean surface.
Also called tidal stream. The flowing of water caused by the rising and lowering tidal waters.
