几百年来,人们一直认为地球上的月球潮高和太阳潮高都是对称分布的(即地球上向月(日)面和背月(日)面各对应点的涨潮高度基本相等)。但这一理论对月球潮来讲是对的,而对太阳潮来说却不合适。研究表明,太阳潮在全球的分布不是对称的;地球的向日面和背日面各对应点上的潮高不相等,其比值随月相转移而变化。现将有关太阳潮不对称分布的问题,详细讨论于后。 For hundreds of years, people have always believed that the lunar tide on Earth and the tide of the sun are symmetrical (that is, the earth’s tide height to the corresponding points on the lunar (day) plane and the dorsal (day) plane is substantially equal). But this theory is right for the moon tide, but not for the sun tide. The research shows that the distribution of solar tides in the world is not symmetrical; the tidal heights at the corresponding points of the Earth’s surface and back are not equal, and their ratios vary with the phase shift. The question of the asymmetric distribution of solar tide will now be discussed in detail later.
