This map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with
{{vector version available|new image name}}.It is recommended to name the SVG file “M2 tidal constituent.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |
 | This map image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans.

Summary
| Description |
English: The M2 tidal constituent. Amplitude is indicated by color (
 Which amplitude is meant: peak or peak-to-peak amplitude?), and the white lines are cotidal differing by 30° (a bit over 1 hr). The curved arcs around the amphidromic points show the direction of the tides, each indicating a synchronized 6 hour period.Deutsch: Gezeiten als in den Weltmeeren umlaufende Wellen. Die Amplitude der Pegelschwankungen ist farbkodiert ( Ist hier die Amplitude oder der Tidenhub gemeint?). Es gibt mehrere Knotenpunkte verschwindender Amplitude (Amphidromie), um die die Wellen herumschwappen. Linien gleicher Phase (weiß, Phasenabstand 30° (etwas mehr als 1 Stunde) Kotidallinien) umgeben die Knotenpunkte büschelförmig. Die Wellenausbreitung erfolgt senkrecht zu diesen Linien. Die Richtung ist durch Pfeile angedeutet. |
