Question 1 of 27070

What will be the velocity of the tidal current at Bournedale, MA, at 1135 DST (ZD +4) on 3 May 1983?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the Tidal Current Tables for the correct year and location (Bournedale, MA) • Understand how to convert Daylight Saving Time (DST) with a given Zone Description (ZD +4) to the standard time used in the tables • Know how to use the daily current diagram or table for velocity at the specified time between slack water and maximum flood/ebb

💭 Think About

• First, decide whether you need to adjust 1135 DST to the reference time used in the tables; what exact clock time should you enter with ZD +4? • Identify the nearest slack water and maximum current times before and after the target time—are you between slack and max, or between max and slack? • Determine whether you must interpolate between listed times/velocities or if the desired time matches a printed time directly

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you have the correct station (Bournedale, MA) and the correct date and year (3 May 1983) in the tables • Verify whether the tables list times in standard time or local time with/without DST, and adjust 1135 DST accordingly • Check that the direction (flood or ebb) and the range between slack and max current velocities are consistent with the answer choice you are leaning toward
