- Definition
- A tide of increased range (or tidal water currents of increased speed) occurring semi-monthly as the result of the moon being new or full.
- Description
- The spring range of tide is the average range occurring at the time of spring tides and is most conveniently computed from the harmonic constants. It is larger than the mean range where the type of tide is either semi-diurnal or mixed, and is of no practical significance where the type of tide is predominantly diurnal.
