WHAT DOES LUNITIDAL INTERVAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Lunitidal interval

The lunitidal interval, measures the time lag from the moon passing overhead, to the next high or low tide. It is also called the high water interval. Sometimes a term is not used for the time lag, but instead the terms age of the tide or the establishment of the tide are used for the entry that is in the tidal tables. Tides are known to be mainly caused by the moon's gravity. Theoretically, peak tidal forces at a given location occur when the moon is at the meridian, but there is usually a delay before high tide that depends largely on the shape of the coastline, and the sea floor, therefore, the lunitidal interval varies from place to place. It varies from 3% over deep oceans to 8 hours at New York harbour. The lunitidal interval further varies within about +/- 30 minutes according to the lunar phase. Hundreds of factors are involved in the lunitidal interval, especially near shorelines. However, if you are far enough away from the coast, the dominating consideration is the speed of gravity waves, which increases with the depth of the ocean. By observing the age of leap tides, it becomes clear that the delay can actually exceed 24 hours in some locations.
