At what time will the first maximum flood occur 1 mile east of Old Field Point on 29 April 1983? (You are keeping daylight saving time ZD +4).

🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the Tidal Current Tables for 1983, Atlantic Coast, and find the reference station for Old Field Point (or the station that controls it) • Apply the subordinate station corrections (time difference and strength ratio) for "1 mile east of Old Field Point" to the reference station’s times of maximum flood • Convert from the standard time in the tables to your local time with daylight saving (ZD +4)

💭 Think About

• Start with the reference station’s time of first maximum flood on 29 April 1983. How do you find that in the table? • What time correction (in minutes) must be applied for the subordinate station "1 mile east of Old Field Point"? Does the correction make the event earlier or later? • Once you have the corrected time in standard time, what adjustment is needed to account for daylight saving time (ZD +4) before you compare with the answer choices?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are looking at tidal current tables, not tide height tables • Double‑check whether the subordinate station correction is + or − for the time of maximum flood • Confirm that your final time is in local daylight saving time before matching it to the multiple‑choice options
