Corange line
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004697
A line connecting points of equal tidal range, which is the difference between high tide and low tide. These lines are depicted on tidal charts to illustrate the spatial variation in tidal amplitude across a body of water. Corange lines often converge at amphidromic points, where the tidal range is zero.
