| This video was made in 1997, or before, by the NASA Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center, at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology. | ||
| It makes it possible to visualize all the tide waves of the planet Earth, at the same time, as they usually progress. | ||
| On the video, you shall see that there is not two bulges, each moving from a meridian to the successive one, westbound. One always near the sublunar line, and the other one near the opposite line. | ||
| Compare with the classic representation. | ||

| The video is also presented with a more detailed comment. | ||
