Atmospheric tides
(gcide) | Tide \Tide\, n. [AS. t[imac]d time; akin to OS. & OFries.
t[imac]d, D. tijd, G. zeit, OHG. z[imac]t, Icel. t[imac]?,
Sw. & Dan. tid, and probably to Skr. aditi unlimited,
endless, where a- is a negative prefix. [root]58. Cf.
Tidings, Tidy, Till, prep., Time.]
1. Time; period; season. [Obsoles.] "This lusty summer's
tide." --Chaucer.

[1913 Webster]
2. The alternate rising and falling of the waters of the
ocean, and of bays, rivers, etc., connected therewith. The
tide ebbs and flows twice in each lunar day, or the space
of a little more than twenty-four hours. It is occasioned
by the attraction of the sun and moon (the influence of
the latter being three times that of the former), acting
unequally on the waters in different parts of the earth,
thus disturbing their equilibrium. A high tide upon one
side of the earth is accompanied by a high tide upon the
opposite side. Hence, when the sun and moon are in
conjunction or opposition, as at new moon and full moon,
their action is such as to produce a greater than the
usual tide, called the spring tide, as represented in
the cut. When the moon is in the first or third quarter,
the sun's attraction in part counteracts the effect of the
moon's attraction, thus producing under the moon a smaller
tide than usual, called the neap tide.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The flow or rising of the water is called flood tide,
and the reflux, ebb tide.

3. A stream; current; flood; as, a tide of blood. "Let in the

retardation from this cause is called the lagging of the

tide}, under 2d Lag.
