e/Tidal resonance

Information
has glosseng: In oceanography, a tidal resonance occurs when the tide excites one of the resonant modes of the ocean . The effect is most striking when a continental shelf is about a quarter wavelength wide. Then an incident tidal wave can be reinforced by reflections between the coast and the shelf edge, the result producing a much higher tidal range at the coast.
