What time of year do spring tides have the greatest extremes?

Tides Revisited
 

No particular time of year. They happen during full moon and new moon
phases.

Spring new moon and full moon generally. I believe there's also a somewhat
rare event called a proxigeen tide (sp?)... happens when the moon is at its
closest point and a new? moon. (moon is between sun and earth, so that must
be right).

oops. Jon is right.
The proxigean spring tide is when a new moon is at max perigee,
called the proxigee.
Happens once every 1.5 years.

The term "Spring Tide has nothing to do with the time of year that a
Spring tide
occurs. They can occur at any time of year.

You're 100% full of it. He asked at which time of year do springs have the
greatest range. Evidently, you think that every spring tide has exactly the
same range as every other spring tide...

Here are the proxigean (extreme high_ spring tide) predictions
between now and January of the year 2023. Note that they will occur
at all different times of year. In the past 400 years, there have
been less than 40 proxigean tides, and they also occured in a wide
range of months. Like all spring tides, they do NOT occur during any
special time of year or season.

Attempt at obfuscation noted. Bart didn't say, or even imply, that they do
occur at a specific time of year.

The persons fitting this profile are sociopaths identified
as stalkers. Most were not violent, the few exeptions were
individuals who built up to a history of violence very

In your dopey Dr. Phil profile above, you note "often misses the sematic meani
ng of language". Bingo! That's you and your "sockpuppet" fixation. It's rooted
in your deep fear that there may be more than one person in the world who thinks
you are a jerk. You can't allow yourself to believe that, so you make yourself
believe that all the people who think you are a jerk are the same person using a
variety of "sockpuppets".

Good lord, you have some serious issues Doug. Really! Ask those astrologers
about your own behavior and see what they come up with. Someone who claims he's
being stalked by someone he thinks may be potentially dangerous at some point,
and yet he keeps on engaging him and talking about him. I think you need a good
long objective look in the mirror, pal.

Another 1/2 point Jon. 1 point total for the question.

The greatest seasonal tidal extremes occur when the sun
and moon are aligned with the earth. We all know these
as spring tides. This is called syzygy. (ziz-i-gee). Syzygy
has the greatest influence on extreme tides.

The Sun is closest to the Earth on January 2nd. For this
reason, the tides tend to reach their greatest "seasonal
extreme" at the Full or New Moon nearest January 2nd.
The term for the closest approach of the Earth to the Sun
is Perihelion. Perihelion is the third greatest factor
contributing to tidal extremes.

Aperihelion is the farthest distance the Earth reached related
to the Sun. You can remember it by the letter "A" being the
same first letter as "away".

The closest approach of the Moon is another factor but
unrelated to the season. Again, the moon must be New or
Full, syzygy, at that time. The term for the closest approach
of the Moon to the Earth is Perigee. Perigee has the second
greatest impact on tidal extremes.

Apogee is the term for farthest (away) and we can use the
same mnemonic letter "A" to remember it stands for away.

Combining these three influences, one could predict the
next single greatest extreme would occur when the moon is
closest to the Earth, the Earth is closest to the Sun, and all
three planetary bodies are in syzygy. This will occur on 2
Jan 2018, like they did in early Jan 1999 when all three
factors contributed to extreme tides.

Rather than remembering odd years effect of perigee, it is
simpler to remember the Sun is closest in January, therefore
tides and currents will be higher and lower, and stronger,
respectively, during at syzygy in January.

What else? If a storm were to occur at that time, storm surge
would be particularly damaging.

This is what got me thinking about this. We just had a storm
coupled with a Full Moon, and Perihelion was just a few weeks
ago.

What other non-terrestrial influences do you think would
contribute to tidal extremes? In the Mid 80's something
interesting happened. Do you remember what it was?

Actually, I may qualify as a "sockpuppet", but not in the way you
deliberately
mis-apply it. I am a sockpuppet, in that I am playing a character in
usenet. I
am still not what you wish and hope I am, which is someone playing
multiple
roles that ALL think you are a jerk.
Sorry, Doug, but there is mopre than one
person here who thinks you are a jerk.

Do you and Bob really constitute "more than one person"?

I'm just one person with one character I
play on usenet. I occasionally change my usenet name, or even the role I
play,
but I never use more than one character at a time, and I do not switch
back and
forth, except in the long term. There is nothing abnormal about this.
Many, if
not most people who participate in usenet groups are role playing. You are
one
of the pathological sickos who is not.

Wow!!! You think that anyone who is genuine, is a sicko??
