The form factor used to classify a tidal regime is the ratio of

  • A.the tidal range at the coast to the range in the open ocean area
  • B.the diurnal constituent amplitudes to the semidiurnal amplitudes
  • C.the spring tidal range to the neap tidal range at that location
  • D.the mean high water level to the mean low water level recorded

Answer: B

It is usually written as the sum of K1 and O1 divided by the sum of M2 and S2. Values below about 0.25 indicate a semidiurnal regime and values above three a diurnal one. Intermediate values indicate one of the two mixed regimes.
