Book Synopsis Beyond the Moon by : James Greig McCully
Download or read book Beyond the Moon written by James Greig McCully. This book was released on 2006. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally, someone has written a comprehensive, easily readable explanation of the tides on earth that is both simple enough for students and solid enough for their professors. 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. This volume demystifies the complexity of the tides by systematically examining its many constituents and demonstrates that: "Nature is, at once, awesome in complexity and beautiful in simplicity." Contents: The Tides in History. The Challenge of Understanding the Tides on Earth; The Lunar Orbit; Solar Influences and Solar-Lunar Interaction. Gravitation and Tractal Forces; 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 and Sustained Forcing; Shallow Estuaries and Tidal Pumping. Tidal Bores; The Computation of the Tide-Tables. Chaos Theory; The Weather and the Tides. Atmospheric Tides; Tidal Influence on Marine Biology. The Tides and Saltwater Fishing. Practical Tide-Table Information for Coastal Boaters; The Constituents of the Tides on Earth. Synopsis of Tidal Influences; Epilogue; Definitions. Key Features A thoroughly referenced science book with a conversational style Includes every significant influence on the tides on earth Explains in detail how NOAA calculates the tide tables Debunks the many popular myths about the tides Ranges from chaos theory to saltwater fishing Brings clarity and depth to this challenging aspect of physical oceanography Readership: Undergraduate oceanography students and secondary science students, as well as their teachers. The general public with an interest in science and nature. Coastal boaters, sailors, yachtsmen, and fishermen.

Book Synopsis Earth Tide Algorithms for the OMNIS Computer Program System by : Walter J. Groeger
Download or read book Earth Tide Algorithms for the OMNIS Computer Program System written by Walter J. Groeger. This book was released on 1986. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents five computer algorithms that jointly specify the gravitational action by which the tidal redistributions of the Earth's masses perturb satellite motion. Covered are the perturbing effects of the lunar and solar atmospheric tide bulges as well as those of the ocean tides and the solid Earth tide. The lunar air tide algorithm is restricted to the dominant, semidiurnal tide component. The atmospheric tide routine associated with the Sun combines the effects of solar heating and solar mass attraction. It includes the semidiurnal and diurnal terms. The model for the ocean tide contains the semidiurnal lunar term and 10 additional tide constituents. It also features the effect on the solid Earth tide of the hydrostatic loading by the ocean tide. The algorithm for the solid Earth tide is based on an abbreviated form of the Wahr model outlined in the final version of the MERIT Standards Document. It includes a variety of spectral modes associated with the long-periodic and the semidiurnal tides. The fifth computer routine is a simplified version of the fourth and is provided for use during computer program verification. All computer algorithms express the tidal modifications of the perturbing acceleration experienced by the satellite in terms of corrections to the expansion coefficients of the Earth's gravitational potential. Time enters the model by means of closed-form expressions for the astronomical fundamental arguments adapted from the MERIT Standards nutation model.
