Castle was created on Friday, June 30, 2006 by Philip
and Jill Aspegren and their three sons, Skyler, Laramie and Jadmin. The
Aspegrens live in San José and work with the Viva Network
viva.org
helping create foster care solutions for children at risk through families
in local churches.
Sunrise and sunset in Costa Rica are pretty consistent
throughout the year, about 12 hours of daylight each day, from 6AM to 6PM,
give or take. Moonrise and moonset are shown by the blue speckles which
indicate moonlight intensity. The graphs also show that High Tide and Low
Tide are most extreme during Full Moon and New Moon.
The Earth tides present and display substantial cyclical increases, as a
result of the different planes and periods of rotation of the Earth, Moon
and the Sun Each 4-5 years the Moon is more near the one of the Earth.
When this happens around the equinoxes, when the Earth is but near the
Sun, take place the astronomical tides more discharges, whose differences
can reach to the 20 centimeters respect to the higher tides average. The
last ones occurred in the 1997-98 and 2002-03.
The delay of the maximums and minimums (high water and low tide) of the
tide in 1 or 2 days with respect to the phases of the Moon, must to the at
heart oceanic water friction. This delay also can soon be seen day day due
first a the time which the stars in giving a complete return take, and the
friction that generate the tides according to their amplitude.
Come build a sand castle ....
Rain or Dry Season: sky is always colourful at
sunset!
