astronomical tide, astronomic tide
A tide caused by the attractive forces of the sun and moon, as opposed to a meteorological tide caused chiefly by the wind and atmospheric pressures.
atmospheric tide
(s) (noun), atmospheric tides
(pl)A movement of atmospheric masses caused by the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon and by daily solar heating; amplitudes are minute except in the upper atmosphere: An
atmospheric tide is a tidal movement of the atmosphere resembling an ocean tide but caused principally by diurnal temperature changes.
Both the sun and moon produce atmospheric tides, and there also exist both gravitational tides (gravitational attraction of the sun or moon) and thermal tides (differential heating of the atmosphere by the sun).
The rhythmic, periodic oscillation of the Earth's atmosphere occurs because of the gravitational effects of the Earth, sun, and moon and to the absorption of radiation by the atmosphere.
solar tide
The vertical movement of water due to gravitational attraction between the sun and the earth.
The solar tide generating force is only about three-sevenths of the lunar tide, due to the closer distance of the moon to the earth.
thermal tide
A variation in atmospheric pressure as a result of the diurnal differential heating of the atmosphere by the sun; so-called in analogy to the conventional gravitational tide.

“tide”
tide, tides
1. The effect arising from the differential gravitational effect of one body on another.
This usually manifests itself in the distortion of the shape of the body; especially, the surface layers.
2. Periodic changes in the shape of a planet, moon, or star caused by the gravitational attraction of a body near it.
The moon tugs on earth's oceans, causing high and low tides; while Jupiter's gravitational attraction on its moon Io causes ground tides; and when two stars are very close together, they pull each other's atmospheres into distorted shapes.

apogean tide
A monthly tide of decreased range that occurs when the moon is at apogee or the farthest from the earth.
diurnal tide
A tide with one high water and one low water in a tidal day of approximately 24 hours.
neap tide
1. A tide of decreased range that occurs twice a month, when the moon is in quadrature; that is, during its first and last quarters, when the sun and the moon are at right angles to each other relative to the earth.
2. The tide raised on the earth when the sun and moon are in positions forming a right angle at the earth's center.
The two pulls (sun and moon) largely cancel each other out, resulting in an extra low high tide and an extra high low tide.
perigean tide
A monthly tide of increased range that occurs when the moon is at perigee or closest to the earth.
spring tide
The tide on the earth's surface when the effect of the moon and sun is greatest; that is, when the two bodies are in line.
This occurs at new and full moon.
