Why are tides higher in the winter?

in winter it rains more and global warming melts the ice caps

The simple answer: it is the shape of the coast and the bottom of the ocean near Savannah that creates these big tides. \n\nLarge amplitude tides are caused by the response of the local topography (coastline, bottom shape, etc) to the tidal forcing from the earth passing through and rotating in a gravitational gradient field produced by the moon, the sun and other celestial bodies. \n\nThe bay of Fundy has huge tides because of its shape. Some places have no tides because of the same phenomenon, or 1 tide a day, or 3 or more\n\nThe moon is responsible for about 2/3 of the tide, and the sun is responsible for about 1/3 of the tide. There are also effects from the other planets and celestial bodies, but since they are further away and/or smaller, the effects are much less. \n\nThere are atmospheric and solid earth tides as well.

I think it's something to do with tea. Tea makes you pee lots. Theoretically, we shouldn't actually pee more in winter, as we don't drink as much during the winter months. But I agree that we do!

The seasons are determined by the tilt of the Earth.  The Earth's rotation goes about an axis with the ends at the poles.  But that axis isn't parallel to the Earth's orbit.  It's slanted by about 20 degrees.  In the months of June, July and August, the North Pole is tilted toward the Sun.  That means that the Northern Hemisphere gets more sunlight more directly, which makes it have longer days and higher temperatures.  In December, January and February, the North Pole tilts away from the Sun, meaning it gets relatively little sunlight and that is less intense.  So it has short days and low temperatures.  The South Pole points in the opposite direction from the North, so the Southern Hemisphere has opposite seasons.\n\nWhat New York has to do with any of this I don't know.

The Pull of both the Moon & the Sun, Yes the sun too has a pull & depending on where both are depends on how strong the pull is hence the different types of tide but the wave itself probably has more to do with the weather, ie strong winds etc.

Guessing......red tides in the ocean are caused by an algae when conditions are right (low oxygen i believe) It may be the same in a waste water stabilisation pond, they might use a similar algae to help break down the waste materials.

Yes, it would be that cold. April is still very cold in those waters. The Atlantic does in fact freeze at that latitude. Open waters do not get much seasonal ice do to wave action, but bays can and do freeze up. The seals breed on seasonal ice which is drifting out to sea by the time they whelp, and a few years ago an icebreaker had to be used to keep Boston harbour open

Salt will lower the freezing point of water. That is why the use in on the roads in winter.

The weather is determined by the heating and cooling of different areas of earth. If it is winter in the northern hemisphere, it is summer in the southern hemishere, basically because of amount of exposure each hemisphere gets to the sun. This will cause different weather conditions in different areas. \n\nFor example, in Hawaii, the surf is good on the South Shore, but flat on the North Shore in the summer. In the winter conditions are reversed. Hawaii being in the northern hemisphere but relatively close to the equator gets its southern summer swells from winter storms generated near New Zealand in the Southern hemisphere. During the winter, the northern swells are generated by winter storms in the North Pacific.

They say in New England that if you don't like the weather, wait a minute!  You are right.\n\n  Being along the coast there is often a marked temperature difference between the land and sea and that can fuel weather changes.  Low pressure systems often follow the coast with anti-clockwise rotating storms that bring in stormy weather from the sea to the land, often well inland.  Because the wind comes from the northeast, it can produce the famous (infamous?) northeaster storms bringing much snow in winter and rain at other times.

Mean sea level is a average of all stages of a tide at a particular location.  There are many stages of tide; mean higher high, mean high springs, mean high water, mean high water neaps, mean lower low water, mean low water.  Mean lower water is the datum for nautical charts.  Local tides vary due to local geographic formations and lunar effects.  \n\nThe moon does not affect the water level of lakes since the amount of water is fixed.  Large lakes usually have high volume free flowing sources of water that may add or substract a noticeable quantity which may influenced by the moon.

The short answer is, the high and low tides do not happen at the same time everywhere. High and low tides are like waves that travel around the planet. \n\nThe moon is responsible for about 2/3 of the tide, and the sun is responsible for about 1/3 of the tide. There are also effects from the other planets and celestial bodies, but since they are further away and/or smaller, the effects are much less. \n\nThe tides are caused because on one side of the earth, the gravitational pull of the moon (and other bodies) pulls the water away from the earth, and makes a big lump we call a high tide. On the other side of the earth, the earth gets pulled away from the water, leaving another big lump, a slightly smaller high tide. In between, it is low tide. That is why in most places we see 2 tides a day (although in some places there are no tides, or 1 tide a day, or more than 2 a day). \n\nThere are tides in the atmosphere too, and in the ground, as you might expect. It is not just in the water, but we can see the water tides easiest in the oceans and some big lakes.

The tides are mainly influenced by the psition of the sun and moon relative to the earth and their gravitational pull, however the tides are also affected by the flow of water around geographical features it is such a complex system that tides are predicted by past measurement rather than a predicting formulae.

lunar activity couses the tides with the gravitational pull

driver08uk got it all wrong.\n\nyes it is the gravity of the moon that causes tides. gravity of the sun also affects tides. all the water is not pulled away from the earth beacuse earths gravity near its own surface is much stronger than that of the moon.\n\nThis is like a tug of war . A strong team pulls the rope to its side. But the weak team also pulls the rope so that the strong team does not win outright but most of the rope is towards it. The strong team is the earth, the moon is the weak team anfd seawater is the rope

Sunny days are the result of high pressure systems which tend to be drier and colder in the winter. There is also no cloud cover at night to keep the reradiation in and if there is snow on the ground it is even brighter and the snow is reflecting the heat back out into space.

In the spring and summer months when the weather patterns are unstable.  The second answer would be at night.
