	5503	tide(s): shallow water	A distortional effect upon astronomically generated TIDE caused by SHALLOW WATERS. See also TIDE(S): QUARTER-DIURNAL.
	5504	tide: single day	See TIDE: DIURNAL.
	5505	tide: slack	See SLACK WATER.
	5506	tide: solar	That part of the TIDE due solely to the TIDE-PRODUCING FORCES of the SUN, as distinguished from that part caused by the forces of the MOON.
	5507	tide(s): solsticial	TIDES occurring near the TIMES of the SOLSTICES, when the TROPIC RANGE is especially large.
	5508	tide(s): spring	The TIDES of increased RANGE occurring near the TIMES of FULL MOON and NEW MOON.
	5509	tide: storm	See STORM SURGE.
	5510	tide: syzygy	The TIDE which takes place on the afternoon of the day the SUN and MOON are in SYZYGY. (This term is now little used).
	5511	tide: tropic	The TIDE that occurs twice monthly when the effect of the MOON's maximum DECLINATION north or south of the EQUATOR is greatest.
	5512	tide: vanishing	The PHENOMENON occurring when a HIGH and LOW WATER 'melt' together into a period of several hours with a nearly constant water level. The ... more The PHENOMENON occurring when a HIGH and LOW WATER 'melt' together into a period of several hours with a nearly constant water level. The TIDE is in the diurnal category but is known as a 'vanishing tide'.
	5513	tide: weather	See TIDE: WINDWARD.
	5514	tide: windward	A TIDAL CURRENT setting to windward. Also called weather tide.
	5515	tide-bound	(adj.). Unable to proceed because of insufficient DEPTH of water due to tidal action.
	5516	tide bulge	See TIDE WAVE.

TIME is generally represented by the abscissae and the HEIGHT of the TIDE by ordinates. For normal TIDES the curve so produced approximates a sine curve. Also called marigram.
	5519	tide cycle	See TIDAL CYCLE.
	5520	tide gate	A restricted passage through which water runs with great SPEED due to tidal action.
