| Description |
We just had a Pacific storm roll through with lots of rain and wind in Oregon. This is the morning after the storm had left. Luckily it was also the last of the King Tide days, so we scurried over to the coast to see these big breaking waves at high tide. King tides are the highest tides. They are naturally occurring, predictable events. Tides are driven by the relative positions of the Earth, Sun, Moon, land formations, and relative location on Earth. In the lunar month, the highest tides occur roughly every 14 days, at the new and full moons, when the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun are in alignment. These highest tides in the lunar cycle are called spring tides.The king tides occur when the Earth, Moon and Sun are aligned at perigee and perihelion, resulting in the largest tidal range seen over the course of a year. So, tides are enhanced when the Earth is closest to the Sun around January of each year. They are reduced when it is furthest from the Sun, around July. |
