Tides and Tidal Currents in East China Sea, Huanghai Sea and Bohai Sea

  • Chapter
Oceanology of China Seas

Abstract

To show the distribution of tidal current for a specific constituent, one could give some maps representing the distribution of the harmonic constants of two components. The maps of this kind are convenient for tidal current prediction but lack physical meaning. Furthermore, the values are dependent on the choice of the orientation of the coordinate axes. In this chapter we will use the current ellipse parameters to show the characters of the current. These parameters do not rely on the choice of the coordinate axes and possess physical meaning. They are: i) major semi-axis of the ellipse, representing the maximum velocity of the constituent; ii) minor semi-axis of the ellipse, representing the minimum velocity of the constituent; iii) direction of the major semi-axis; iv) time of occurrence of the maximum velocity after transit of the corresponding fictitious celestial body.
