Tropic tide

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009795

A type of tide that occurs when the moon's declination is at its maximum, either north or south of the equator, resulting in a greater diurnal inequality. This leads to significantly different heights between successive high or low tides. Tropic tides occur approximately every 13.6 days.
