The lunitidal interval measures the time lag from lunar culmination to the next high tide at a given location. It is also called the high water interval (HWI). Sometimes a term is not used for the time lag, but instead the terms age or establishment of the tide are used for the entry that is in tide tables.

  • The lunitidal interval measures the time lag from lunar culmination to the next high tide at a given location. It is also called the high water interval (HWI). Sometimes a term is not used for the time lag, but instead the terms age or establishment of the tide are used for the entry that is in tide tables. Tides are known to be mainly caused by the Moon's gravity. Theoretically, peak tidal forces at a given location would concur when the Moon reaches the meridian, but a delay usually precedes high tide, depending largely on the shape of the coastline and the sea floor. Therefore, the lunitidal interval varies from place to place – from 3 hours over deep oceans to eight hours at New York Harbor. The lunitidal interval further varies within about +/-30 minutes according to the lunar phase. (This is caused by the time interval associated with the solar tides.) Hundreds of factors are involved in the lunitidal interval, especially near the shoreline. However, for those far away enough from the coast, the dominating consideration is the speed of gravity waves, which increases with the water's depth. (It is proportional to the square root of the depth, for the extremely long gravity waves that transport the water that is following the Moon around the Earth. The oceans are about 4 km deep and would have to be at least 22 km deep for these waves to keep up with the Moon. As mentioned above, a similar time lag accompanies the solar tides, a complicating factor that varies with the lunar phases.) By observing the age of leap tides, it becomes clear that the delay can actually exceed 24 hours in some locations. The approximate lunitidal interval can be calculated if the moonrise, moonset, and high tide times are known for a location. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Moon reaches its highest point when it is southernmost in the sky. Lunar data are available from printed or online tables. Tide tables forecast the time of the next high water. The difference between these two times is the lunitidal interval. This value can be used to calibrate certain clocks and wristwatches to allow for simple but crude tidal predictions. (en)
  • En océanographie, l'établissement du port en un lieu donné est le retard moyen de la pleine mer (marée haute) sur l'instant du passage de la Lune au méridien du lieu.On peut lui ajouter la notion d'âge de la marée, le retard entre le maximum d'amplitude de la marée et le maximum d'action des astres. En théorie, la pleine mer se produit lorsque la Lune culmine supérieurement ou inférieurement mais dans la réalité, il existe un délai dû à différents facteurs. L'établissement du port varie fortement d'un lieu à l'autre de la planète, mais est relativement constant en un lieu précis. Au cours du cycle lunaire, l'écart par rapport à la moyenne varie d'environ ±30 min. L'établissement du port permet d'estimer sommairement les marées, sachant le passage de la Lune au méridien. Il ne s'applique qu'aux marées de type semi-diurne, c'est-à-dire pour lesquelles la composante diurne est faible. L'établissement du port est calculé par rapport au méridien local (en l'absence d'autre précision, on parle d'établissement moyen) ou par rapport au méridien de Greenwich : on parle d'établissement moyen relatif rapporté à Greenwich. Au VIIIe siècle, Bède le Vénérable a été le premier à « affirmer l'existence et la constance, en chaque lieu, d'un retard de la marée sur l'heure lunaire». (fr)
  • 月潮間隔,也被稱為月潮間隙。它代表了某地區從月亮過中天開始,直到下一次的間隔時間。 潮汐主要是受到月球的重力影響,因此理論上滿潮應發生在月亮經過天頂時。 但實際上由於許多複雜因素,造成滿潮時間較理論值來的晚。 (zh)
