Tides

This study explores the impact of gravitational forces between the Earth and the Moon on tidal phenomena. It highlights the concept of the common center of gravity where both celestial bodies revolve, along with the intricate pathways of their respective centers. The analysis includes various tidal cycles: diurnal, semidiurnal, and mixed semidiurnal, along with the effects of Coriolis forces and amphidromic points. Observational data from locations like the Bay of Fundy is presented, alongside tidal forecasts and weather interactions that significantly influence tidal levels.
