What is the ghost King tide of Qiantang River? Our Qiantang River, in addition to the Qianjiang spring tide on August 18, which is famous all over the world, is also a big tide flood on July 18 of the lunar calendar, which is called "ghost King tide". The reason why it is called "ghost King tide" is that this time is just after the Zhongyuan Festival, and its momentum and surge sometimes exceed the spring tide on August 18. Talk about July 18. In fact, the tide has been rising since July 16.
It is learned from Hangzhou hydrological and water resources monitoring station that from January to June this year, the rainfall in the whole city was 10% more than that in previous years, and the rainfall in plum rain period was 80% more than that in average. More rain also led to a significant increase in upstream flood discharge.
The larger the volume, the less sediment under the river, and the tide is easier to send up, so the tide will be larger. From the comparison of surge height of Cangqian hydrological station in the same period last year and this year, it can be seen that the surge height this year is basically twice that of last year.
Before Yuhang warehouse this year, the surge height of the early tide was 1 meter on July 14 of the lunar calendar. Today, the early tide on July 16 has reached 1.3 meters. Last July 16 was only 0.6 meters, and July 14 was only 0.4 meters. This year is obviously a little bigger than last year. It is expected that the tide on July 18 of the lunar calendar this year will surge between 1.4m and 1.5m, which is still good to watch.
'trendsetter ', a seemingly mundane career. Every summer, it is the most ornamental time of Qiantang River tide, and it is also the most prone time for tide roll events. At this time, 'shouting tide people' becomes the last 'line of Defense' to prevent tide swallowing people.
"Our work seems very ordinary. We patrol by the river, but whenever we save other people's lives because of our warnings, I feel very proud."
