🔍 Key Concepts

• Using the Tidal Current Tables for 1983 to find maximum ebb at Plum Gut on a specific date • Understanding how reference stations and subordinate stations are used for current predictions • Applying any needed corrections for Daylight Savings Time (DST) to the listed times

💭 Think About

• First, identify whether Plum Gut is listed as a reference station or a subordinate station in the 1983 Tidal Current Tables. How does that affect where you look and what adjustments you make? • Once you find the maximum ebb times for 10 August, how do you convert the listed time to local Daylight Savings Time? What is the relationship between the table’s standard time and DST? • There may be more than one maximum ebb in a day. How will you decide which one is the first PM maximum ebb after local noon?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether the table times are in Standard Time or already adjusted for Daylight Savings Time • Verify that you are using the current table section for Plum Gut, not a nearby but different location • Double‑check that you selected the first PM (afternoon) maximum ebb after 1200 local time, not a flood or an AM maximum
