Tidal Characteristic Numbers

Computation of tidal characteristic numbers is only meaningful for tidal waters, where the tide is the dominant process. Gravitational as well as centrifugal forces cause tidal forces on Earth. Some significant causes as well as phenomena are explained in the following animation as well as on the poster:
