tidal current
tidal stream

It is very rarely still because of the strong tidal currents.

There was a strong tidal current running past the buoy.

Tidal currents are caused in two main types of situation.

The strait has a very strong tidal current, making travel difficult and dangerous.

The deep water around the island results in only moderate tidal currents.

Tidal currents in this area can reach up to 4 knots.

Because the sound is long, and in places narrow, the tidal currents are fairly strong.

The strait has a strong tidal current with a maelstrom.

No big cows but excellent fighters, especially on a seven weight in the tidal current.

Mullen, who could not swim, was being swept away by a strong tidal current.

The design had the effect of a tidal current, moving him through the work like a leaf on a gentle breeze.

Tidal currents commonly range between 2 and 3 knots in the pass.

Perhaps the only thing comparable to the Maelstrom would be some very strong tidal currents.

Because of this gap, there are strong tidal currents.

The river at this point has always had hazardous tidal currents, the cause of the 1960 collision.

The tidal currents are stable and weak, but influenced by the wind.

Strong tidal currents (up to 6 knots) separate the islands from each other.

In the first case, the energy amount is entirely determined by the timing and tidal current magnitude.

It has a significant tidal current and is exposed to strong northerly winds.

The potential of electric power generation from marine tidal currents is enormous.

Tidal currents are usually around two kilometres per hour (one knot).

The strong tidal current could easily pull the two of them away from the open lead and under the sheet of ice.

The tidal currents reach up to 6 m/s and are considered as the fastest in Asia.

The strait is subject to strong tidal currents which reverse direction approximately four times a day.

The Saltstraumen has the strongest tidal current in the world.

All trying to fight their way across those tidal streams?

There are several dangerous points in the passage where tidal streams can be very strong.

The world's largest tidal stream energy development will be built off the west coast of Scotland.

Very little direct research or observation of tidal stream systems exists.

Similar processes occur in water courses, rivers and tidal streams.

'You mean right in the center of the tidal stream?

It was four times more powerful than any other tidal stream generator in the world at the time of installation.

A number of common guillemots were feeding in the tidal streams which run strongly here.

Here, the navigator has deep, clear water and, with a few exceptions, slower tidal streams.

Tidal stream power is electricity made from the tidal movement of water.

It can be difficult to maintain tidal stream generators due to their size and depth in the water.

The child was being blown into the confused water off the point, where the tidal stream was running hard.

Tidal stream power is a relatively new technology.

The wreck can be dived, although strong tidal streams make the area dangerous for all but the most experienced.

Water is nearly 800 times denser than air and tidal streams in many areas run at 5knots or more.

It is frequently found in areas bordering marshes and along the banks of tidal streams.

A tidal stream generator is a machine that extracts energy from moving water in tides.

The Humber estuary is to be used for trials of a tidal stream generator.

SeaGen is the world's first large scale commercial tidal stream generator.

A tidal stream can refer to two different phenomena:

It is made up of many small islands divided by marshes and small tidal streams.

In spite of the tidal stream, I couldn't be too far away from the Alexis.

Murray had worked out the tidal streams off the inlet: always northerly in the upper reach.

The lake (in reality a wide tidal stream) is "Class C waters".

Considerable commercial interest has been shown in shrouded tidal stream turbines due to the increased power output.
