    Maybe is a real number, so over water and tides or over land. If I stand outside when it goes over it should drop 2 metres, You watch and check..

    No I don't think so. Velocity is also dropping and it has climbed several km over the ocean, so if the tide is that big, someone needs to warn the Atlantic coastlines. Perhaps there is an eccentricity in the orbit...
