SUMMARY:🧤 Volunteer: Catch the King Data Collection Event!
DESCRIPTION:Catch the King is an annual community science initiative that mobilizes volunteers to map the extent of tidal flooding during perigean spring tides\, also known as “king tides.” These tides represent the highest astronomical tides of the year\, occurring when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun align\, and the Moon is at its closest approach to Earth (perigee). \nParticipants in the event use a mobile app that collects location-based data points along the water’s edge at peak high tide. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s a King Tide\, Anyway?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis crowdsourced data collection effort contributes to high-resolution mapping of tidal inundation areas\, providing valuable empirical data for hydrodynamic modeling and flood forecasting!
