🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the Tide Tables for 1983 and find the primary station table for New Haven (City Dock), CT • Apply the Rule of Twelfths or the tidal curve method if needed between high and low water times • Carefully track time zones (ZD +5) and convert between standard time and the tide table reference time if required

💭 Think About

• What are the times and heights of the nearest high and low waters at New Haven on 26 February 1983? • Is 1750 EST closer in time to the preceding high water or the following low water, and roughly what fraction of the tidal interval has passed? • Based on that fraction of the 6-hour tidal period, about how much of the total height change should have occurred by 1750?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using the correct date and year (26 Feb 1983) in the tide tables • Verify the time zone used in the tide tables versus EST (ZD +5) before interpolating • Double-check the sign and units of the height (feet vs meters and positive vs negative) before matching it to one of the choices
