What best describes the condition of the tidal current at New London Harbor Entrance, at 0945 on 3 March 1983?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Tidal current tables vs. tide height tables • How to interpolate between times in the Tidal Current Tables for a specific location • Meaning of terms: slack water, maximum flood, and maximum ebb

💭 Think About

• Look up the station and date in the Tidal Current Tables and identify the times of maximum flood, slack water, and maximum ebb that surround 0945. • Compare 0945 with those listed times: Is it before or after a maximum or slack? Is the current still increasing, decreasing, or about to reverse? • Think about whether 0945 is closer in time to a listed maximum or to a listed slack, and what that implies about the current’s condition.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using Tidal Current Tables for New London Harbor Entrance (not tide height tables). • Carefully note whether the listed currents around that time are flood (flowing in) or ebb (flowing out). • Verify the sequence of events in the table: maximum flood → slack → maximum ebb and where 0945 falls within that sequence.
