Question 1

What is the purpose of tidal corrections in hydrographic surveying?

  • A) To measure tidal currents
  • B) To adjust depth readings for tidal influences
  • C) To estimate vessel speed

💡 Hint: Focus on how tides can change water levels.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If the tide reading is 1.5 feet, the original depth measured is 12 feet, and the vessel has a heave of 0.75 feet, what is the adjusted depth?

💡 Hint: Make sure to subtract the tide reading and add the heave.

Question 2

Explain how vessel motion would affect the accuracy of depth readings in a dynamic weather situation such as a storm.

💡 Hint: Consider how movement can skew the measurements.
