Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007069
The time elapsed between the Moon's transit over a meridian and the next high tide at a specific location. This interval varies geographically due to local bathymetry and coastline configuration, but it remains relatively constant for a given place. It is a key factor in predicting local tide times.
