High Water
Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon (and to a much lesser extent, the Sun) and are also caused by the Earth and Moon orbiting one another. Tide tables can be used for any given locale to find the predicted times and amplitude (or "tidal range"). The predictions are influenced by many factors including the alignment of the Sun and Moon, the phase and amplitude of the tide (pattern of tides in the deep ocean), the amphidromic systems of the oceans, and the shape of the coastline and near-shore bathymetry (see '' Timing''). They are however only predictions, the actual time and height of the tide is affected by wind and atmospheric pressure. Many shorelines experience semi-diurnal tides—two nearly equal high and low tides each day. Other locations have a diurnal tide—one high and low tide each day. A "mixed tide"—two uneven magnitude tides a day—is a third regular category. Tides va ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Project Highwater
Project Highwater was an experiment carried out as part of two of the test flights of NASA's Saturn I launch vehicle (using battleship upper stages), successfully launched into a sub-orbital trajectory from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The Highwater experiment sought to determine the effect of a large volume of water suddenly released into the ionosphere. The project answered questions about the effect of the diffusion of propellants in the event that a rocket was destroyed at high altitude. The first flight, SA-2, took place on April 25, 1962. After the flight test of the rocket was complete and first stage shutdown occurred, explosive charges on the dummy upper stages destroyed the rocket and released of ballast water weighing into the upper atmosphere at an altitude of , eventually reaching an apex of . The second flight, SA-3, launched on November 16, 1962, and involved the same payload. The ballast water was explosively released at the flight's peak altitude of . For both of t ...

High Water (For Charley Patton)
"High Water (For Charley Patton)" is a song written and performed by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released as the seventh track on his 31st studio album '' "Love and Theft"'' in 2001 and anthologized on the compilation album ''Dylan'' in 2007. Like much of Dylan's 21st century output, he produced the track himself under the pseudonym Jack Frost. The song draws its title from Charley Patton's "High Water Everywhere", and is meant as a tribute to that bluesman although Dylan scholar Tony Attwood notes that the song, both musically and lyrically, has little point of contact with the original Patton work. Composition and recording Lyrically, "High Water (For Charley Patton)" is similar to Dylan's 1983 song "Blind Willie McTell" and his 2020 song "Goodbye Jimmy Reed" in that it pays tribute to the titular blues singer only indirectly. In spite of the title, and references to the Blues in the lyrics, the song is not itself a blues but rather a three-chord banjo-driven folk ...
