Numerical model predictions of rotating amphidromic system with (a) no friction, (b) low friction, (c) high friction. (Adapted from Hendershott & Speranza, 1971. Deep-Sea Res ., 18 , 959-980 by M.S. Kearney, University of Maryland) Amphidromic Systems in Long, Narrow Basins (S. Todd, College of the Atlantic) |
The Bay of Fundy is an example of resonance between the natural and tidal frequencies, setting up a standing wave. Amplification produces tidal range of 15 m at the head of the bay.
