CH. XIII GENERAL TIDE-TABLES 201 the Indian Ocean, and of the United States Govern ment for the coasts of North America. The Indian tables contain predictions for about thirty-seven ports. The second kind of table, where the tide is given by reference to a celestial phenomenon, may be described as a general one. It is here necessary to refer to the Nautical Almanack for the time of occurrence of the celestial phenomenon, and a little simple calculation must then be made to obtain the prediction. The phenomenon to which the tide is usually referred is the passage of the moon across the meridian of the place of observation, and the table states that high- and low-water will occur so many hours after the moon’s passage, and that the water will stand at such and such a height. The moon, at her change, is close to the sun and crosses the meridian at noon ; she would then be visible but for the sun’s brightness, and if she did not turn her dark side towards us. She again crosses the meridian invisibly at midnight. At full moon she is on the meridian, visibly at midnight, and invisibly at noon. At waxing half-moon she is visibly on the meridian at six at night, and at waning half-moon at six in the morning. The hour of the clock at which the moon passes the meridian is therefore in effect a statement of her phase. Accordingly the relative position of the sun and moon is directly involved in a statement of the tide as corresponding to a definite hour of the moon’s passage. A table founded on the time of the moon’s passage must therefore involve the principal lunar and solar semidiurnal tides.
