Now, I know just enough about tides to be dangerous. I'm aware that bathymetric effects are major factors, and the other stuff makes sense. I'm wondering about "compressibility". I'm trying to imagine how/where that's a factor and coming up short. (no, I'm not baiting you. I don't know and I'm curious)
