Externet Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hi all. What is the delay from a lunar noon (moon at 90 degrees azimuth observed from earth) at a given meridian to the high tide maximum at that meridian ? Is that delay constant for the same location ? Does that delay changes for different locations ? I suppose yes, due to geographic and topographic sorroundings of coastal shores. Does that delay changes by the elevation of the moon when at lunar noon ? [ *Perhaps zenith is the wrong term as would imply 90 degrees elevation. I mean lunar noon when moon azimuth is coincidental with the meridian of observer. Should I say 90 degrees azimuth instead of zenith ? ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
