Highest astronomical tide

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006250

The highest predicted water level that can occur under average meteorological conditions due to astronomical forces alone. This value is determined by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, considering their varying alignments and distances from Earth. It represents the maximum tidal range expected without the influence of weather-related factors like storm surges or strong winds.
