The US 19 bridge over the Pithlachascotee River between Port Richey (left) and New Port Richey. The Pithlachascotee River, often called the Cotee or "Cootie" River, [1][2][3] is a blackwater river in Pasco County, Florida. Originating near Crews Lake, the river flows for over 23 miles (37 km) [4] to the south and west, flowing through the ...
Upper Pithlachascotee River Preserve, also referred to as Upper Cotee Preserve, is a 129-acre area of protected land in Pasco County, Florida. It includes 69 acres of bottomland forest by the Pithlachascotee River and the Ryals Branch, a tributary that crosses the site. [1] The park includes a Cypress tree believed to be between 200 and 300 ...
The Ichetucknee River is a spring-fed, pristine river in North Central Florida. Located near Fort White, Florida, The Ichetucknee Springs State Park is located in Columbia and Suwannee counties. [1] The entire 6 miles (9.7 km) of the river average 20 feet (6.1 m) wide, 5 feet (1.5 m) deep and most of the 6 miles lie within the boundaries of the ...
Tidal range. Tidal range is the difference in height between high tide and low tide. Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and Sun, by Earth's rotation and by centrifugal force caused by Earth's progression around the Earth-Moon barycenter. Tidal range depends on time and location.
Tide table. Tide tables, sometimes called tide charts, are used for tidal prediction and show the daily times and levels of high and low tides, usually for a particular location. [1] Tide heights at intermediate times (between high and low water) can be approximated by using the rule of twelfths or more accurately calculated by using a ...
Tide clock Alunatime at Trinity Buoy Wharf, London. A tide clock is a specially designed clock that keeps track of the Moon 's apparent motion around the Earth. Along many coastlines, the Moon contributes the major part (67%) of the combined lunar and solar tides. The exact interval between tides is influenced by the position of the Moon and ...
A chart datum is the water level surface serving as origin of depths displayed on a nautical chart and for reporting and predicting tide heights. A chart datum is generally derived from some tidal phase, in which case it is also known as a tidal datum. [1] Common chart datums are lowest astronomical tide (LAT) [1] and mean lower low water (MLLW).
Tides are commonly semi-diurnal (two high waters and two low waters each day), or diurnal (one tidal cycle per day). The two high waters on a given day are typically not the same height (the daily inequality); these are the higher high water and the lower high water in tide tables.
