[edit] Comments

This is an interesting phenomenon that is worth explaining to us, if you understand the dynamics of a tidal bore. Wetman 09:32, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I'm just writing an article on solitons, so hope to have more detail. One thing to say immediately; bores =/= solitons. Usual soliton definition is a single wave that's level water both before and behind. Bores are height discontinuities. Sometimes a bore is just a turbulent step in water height (like a travelling waterfall); that isn't a soliton. Other times it's called "undular", where there's a smooth leading shockwave followed by a train of solitons. Raygirvan Apr 30 2005

In some places 2m is converted to 6 ft, others 7ft on this page. It's possible that the 6ft/7ft discrepancy comes because precision is lost when converting to meters, but it could also be the case that someone just converted m->ft differently. Anyone know which it is? LactoseTI 16:41, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


The following unsourced, anonymous comment was in the "Asia" section :-
"Tidal bores occur in lakes and rivers. They only occur in the coast becasue there is a bigger tide range."
Do they? Does anyone know what it means? Or where it comes from? Or why it's in the Asia section? Swanny18 (talk) 12:38, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More bores.

There are a heck of a lot more bores than this, it's just that they are either difficult to get to or they are very small. For example, Sydney Harbour has a bore almost every day (depending on the moon phase) near the Olympic Village in Homebush, but it's only 15cm (six inches) high.
