A tide clock is divided into two six-hour-long tidal periods that shows the average length of time between high and low tide in a semi-diurnal tide region such as most areas of the Atlantic Ocean.

The semi-diurnal tides go through one full cycle ( a high and low tide ) about once every 12 hours and one full cycle of maximum height ( a spring and neap tide ) about once every 14 days.

It originates from a combination of several factors, the dominant being the strong semi-diurnal tides and peculiar shape of the seabed, with a shallow ridge between the Moskenes�ya and V�r�y islands which amplifies and whirls the tidal currents.

During WWII he was able to obtain his habilitation ( permission to teach ) for geophysics and oceanography in 1943 at Berlin University with a thesis on semidiurnal and diurnal tides and was appointed custodian at the Institute for Oceanography in Berlin.

For a semi-diurnal tide the amphidromic point can be thought of roughly like the center of a clock face, with the hour hand pointing in the direction of the high water cotidal line, which is directly opposite the low water cotidal line.

It was Lindzen, in his 1966 paper, " On the theory of the diurnal tide ", who showed that the solution set of Hough functions given by Bernard Haurwitz to Laplace's tidal equation was incomplete : modes with negative equivalent depths had been omitted.

In medieval times before the canalisation of the Thames, Staines-upon-Thames was the highest point at which the high tide was perceivable for a few minutes every semi-diurnal tide ( twice a day ), adding some millimetres to the water depth compared to more upstream parishes.

Two interesting points that arise from comparing these two sites at opposite ends of the bay are their tidal characteristics-semi-diurnal tide for CBBT and mixed tide for Baltimore ( due to resonance in the Bay )-and the differences in amplitude ( due to dissipation in the Bay ).

Lindzen went on to calculate the thermal response of the diurnal tide to ozone and water vapor absorption in detail and showed that when his theoretical developments were included, the surface pressure oscillation was predicted with approximately the magnitude and phase observed, as were most of the features of the diurnal wind oscillations in the mesosphere.

The tidal regime at the entrance to Pelorus Sound is typical of New Zealand coastal locations, i . e . there is a semi-diurnal tide modulated on a spring-neap cycle, generated by the superposition of M2 ( lunar, semi-diurnal ) and S2 ( solar, semi-diurnal ) tidal constituents.
