Definition
Results from comparable semi-diurnal and diurnal constituent amplitudes, giving a marked diurnal inequality with higher high water, lower high water, higher low water and lower low water each cycle. Typical of the Pacific coasts of North America and much of Australia. Form factors between roughly 0.25 and 3.0 denote mixed regimes. Navigators there must identify which of the day's two low waters is the critical one for clearance calculations.
