Short summary
Common ways of describing the rise and fall of the tides are essential for safe, productive coastal habitation. We have long had a useful formula to describe the rise and fall of tides at daily timescales but no purposive method for characterising tidal height variations at longer timescales. This paper uses observations from New Zealand, plus model data, to explain the different tidal envelope types evident at monthly timescales, complementing the existing way of describing daily tidal forms.
