Exercise Tides of Victoria

Consider the tide charts in ../../Readings/TideCharts.pdf for tides at the Victoria tidal station. The charts are annotated with astronomical events like new moons, etc, and there are three for different months of the year.

Very concisely, identify as many tidal phenomena as you can from these tidal charts by referring to time periods and the astronomical forcing that creates the signature of the tides during those periods. Comparing two periods is also helpful. Don’t make things up - we should have covered most of the forcings in class.
