New Jersey : World Scientific, ©2006. 1 online resource (xvii, 285 pages) : illustrations (some color) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 271-279) and index. The tides in history. The challenge of understanding the tides on earth -- One moon--two tides -- The lunar orbit -- The solar influences and solar-lunar interaction -- Celestial harmonics -- The Coriolis force and oceanic amphidromes. Coastal Kelvin waves. Tidal currents. Sea level -- The Seiche effect and basins of oscillation. Tidal intermixing -- Coastal geography and near shore topography, resonant co-oscillation, sustained forcing -- Shallow estuaries and tidal bores -- Computation of the tide-tables and chaos theory -- The weather and the tides.

"Step by step, by analogy and illustration, Beyond the Moon describes how the cyclical motion of the near solar system is impressed upon the earth's oceans, and how the hydraulics over the continental shelf and the geography of the coastline orchestrate this rhythm into the bewildering variety of tide patterns seen around the globe.
