Tidal Prism Filling Bay Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Tidal Prism Filling Bay = 2*Bay Tide Amplitude*Surface Area of Bay
P = 2*a_B*A_b
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Tidal Prism Filling Bay - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Tidal Prism Filling Bay is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide, or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide.
Bay Tide Amplitude - Bay Tide Amplitude is the average difference between water levels at high and low tide.
Surface Area of Bay - (Measured in Square Meter) - Surface Area of Bay is defined as a small body of water set off from the main body.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bay Tide Amplitude: 3.7 --> No Conversion Required
Surface Area of Bay: 1.5001 Square Meter --> 1.5001 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P = 2*a_B*A_b --> 2*3.7*1.5001

Evaluating ... ...

P = 11.10074

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

11.10074 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

11.10074 Cubic Meter <-- Tidal Prism Filling Bay

What is Tidal prism?

A tidal prism is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide, or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide. The inter-tidal prism volume can be expressed by the relationship: P=H A, where H is the average tidal range and A is the average surface area of the basin.

What is Tide in oceanography?

Tides are caused by gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. Tides are very long-period waves that move through the oceans in response to the forces exerted by the moon and sun. Tides originate in the oceans and progress toward the coastlines where they appear as the regular rise and fall of the sea surface.
