🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the Tidal Current Tables for the correct year (1983) and region (East Coast, Doubling Point, ME) • Understand how to convert standard time (EST, ZD +5) to the time format used in the tables • Know how to apply data at a reference station and then adjust for a subordinate station using the published differences

💭 Think About

• First, decide whether Doubling Point is a reference station or a subordinate station in the Tidal Current Tables. How does that affect your steps? • What are the times of maximum flood, maximum ebb, and slack water around 3 April 1983, and how close is 1357 to any of these events? • Once you find the nearest times and velocities in the table, how do you interpolate between them to get the velocity at 1357?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using the correct station listing (south of Doubling Point, ME) in the Tidal Current Tables, not a nearby but different location • Verify the time zone and date match the table entry (3 April 1983, converted correctly if needed) • Double-check any interpolation (both time interval and change in velocity) before deciding which of the four choices is closest
