Le point sur les marées d’équinoxes dans l’estuaire du Saint-Laurent

Abstract: Selon une étude publiée dans Le Naturaliste canadien, les marées de l’estuaire du Saint-Laurent ne seraient pas plus grandes aux équinoxes qu’à d’autres moments de l’année. Cette idée de marées plus grandes aux équinoxes relèverait plutôt d’une croyance populaire sans fondements théoriques, répandue même parmi la communauté scientifique. Il est démontré ici que ces conclusions contredisent en fait la théorie des marées et découlent d’un problème de sous-échantillonnage des données de marées. Une analyse basée … Show more

“…This effect is also called the meteorological tide and the magnitude of this signal relative to the astronomical tide can be appreciated by examining Figure 5 of Bourgault et al (2016) for station Rimouski, ≈300 km downstream from Québec City, as well as Figure 5 of LDM16 for station St-Joseph-de-la-Rive, ≈100 km downstream. In extreme cases, such as during the storm surge of December 2010, the meteorological tide can reach up to 1m in the estuary (LDM16 Bourgault et al, 2016), but on long-term averages (25 years) the daily averaged meteorological tide at Rimouski has a mean amplitude of ±0.1 m as computed using Bourgault et al (2016) preanalyzed data. This is roughly of the same order of magnitude as the amplitude of the semimonthly tidally induced variation of the water level that affect the entire river, up to Montreal (Godin, 1979;LeBlond, 1979).…”
