g'day all,
Andrew Taylor mentions a single high tide per
day.
This is what we have most of the time just up the road
from here at the Gulf of Carpentaria.
On the few days a month there are two tides, there is hardly
any tide.
(Coincidently we also have the famous Morning Glory phenomenon
like some other one tide a day locations.)
If you look at the 7 day forecast for Karumba for
6th to the 12th
it can be seen
... that some days the tide changes at the same time as the
previous day
... sometimes not
One summary of the "one tide a day" conundrum is by Dr Karl
(Kruszelnicki)
He also uses a bathtub analogy.
Although the tides move in mysterious ways, the birds still know when to feed !
And thus the Gulf birds must stuff themselves on the single
daily tide ?
