The basic equation describing these phenomena is called the meridional structure equation, which is sometimes also namedfor Laplace, who fiÂrst derived it. A Fourier-series expansion of the potential that drives these phenomena was performed byDoodson, whose namesake numbers index the constituent parts of these phenomena into groups with similar frequencies andspatial variability. These phenomena account for a corresponding energy dissipation of about 3.75 terawatts and a lengtheningof the day by about 2 milliseconds per century, and locations where the vertical components of these phenomena are absentare called amphidromic points. In shallow waters, the amplitude of these phenomena is calculated either from the Doodsonfrequencies or via Munk and Cartwright's "response method." For 10 points, identify these phenomena resulting from thedifferential gravitational inflfluence of one celestial body on the surface of another, such as that of the moon on Earth, whichdrives oceanic motion.
