In oceanography, the time interval between an astronomical event and the corresponding tidal phenomenon.

For example, the old oceanographic term for the lag in days between the occurrence of syzygy and the highest spring tide is the "age of the tide;" the lag between perigee and the highest perigean tide is the "age of parallax inequality."
