Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009668
The vertical distance from the mean sea level to either a high tide or a low tide level. This value represents half of the tidal range and indicates the strength of the tidal forcing at a particular location. Tide amplitude varies with the phases of the moon and the alignment of celestial bodies.
