Cotidal line
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004729
A line on a map connecting points where high tide occurs simultaneously. These lines illustrate the propagation of tidal waves across oceans and seas, showing how the tide progresses over time. Cotidal lines are typically drawn for each hour relative to a specific reference point, such as the moon's transit over the Greenwich meridian.
