🔍 Key Concepts

• Using the Tide Tables for 7 November 1983 to find the times and heights of high and low water at South Freeport, ME (or its reference port) • Interpolating between two consecutive tidal heights to find when the tide will be at a specific height (6.0 feet) • Converting between EST with zone description (ZD +5) and making sure you stay on the correct date and time block

💭 Think About

• First, identify between which two tidal events (high water and low water, or low to high) the height of 6.0 feet will occur after 0800 EST—what are their times and heights? • Then, think about whether the tidal change between these two events can be treated as roughly linear for exam purposes, and how to proportion the time based on the change in height from one event to the next. • Finally, check that your computed time is after 0800 EST and matches one of the answer choices.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the correct tide station and whether South Freeport, ME is a primary or secondary station, and if any corrections must be applied from a reference port. • Verify the times and heights of the two tidal events you are interpolating between and that the tide is rising or falling as expected. • Make sure your final time is expressed in EST with ZD +5 and falls after 0800 on 7 November 1983.
