Description
English: The tidal amplitude at Royal Bay, South Georgia, in the Southern Ocean, in the first three months of 2005 (period randomly chosen). The phases of the moon are indicated: closed circles are new moon, open circles are full moon. To eliminate the effect of the daily inequality of the tide, the amplitude is calculated from the four consecutive extremes (two high and two low waters) of a lunar day, divided by four. It is clear that the periods with greatest amplitudes of the tide (spring tides) are a few days after new and full moon. Data from WWW Tide and Current Predictor
Nederlands: De amplitude van het getij in Royal Bay, South Georgia, in de Zuidelijke IJszee, in de eerste drie maanden van 2005 (de periode is random gekozen). De fasen van de moon zijn aangegeven: gesloten cirkels stellen nieuwe maan voor, open cirkels volle maan. Om het effect van de dagelijkse ongelijkheid teniet te doen, is de amplitude berekend uit vier opeenvolgende extremen (tweemaal hoog- en tweemaal laagwater in een maansdag), gedeeld door vier. Het is duidelijk dat de periodes met de grootste amplitude (springtij) een paar dagen na nieuwe en volle maan vallen. Data komen van WWW Tide and Current Predictor
