A tidal bore is a series of waves propagating upstream as the tidal
flow turns to rising. It forms during spring tide conditions when
the tidal range exceeds 4 to 6 m and the flood tide is confined to
a narrow funnelled estuary. Its existence is based upon a fragile
hydrodynamic balance between the tidal amplitude, the freshwater
river flow conditions and the river channel bathymetry, and it is
shown that this balance may be easily disturbed by changes in
boundary conditions and freshwater inflow. This book demystifies
the physics of a tidal bore and it thoroughly documents the tidal
bores on our planet with reliable and accurate information. It aims
to cultivate a passion for a beautiful, but fragile geophysical
process, with in-depth updated content and by over 190
illustrations and photographs.
