Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a tide gauge measures a depth of 5 meters at a high tide and, during the next reading, the same location records 3 meters during low tide, calculate the tidal range. Discuss the implications of this range for recreational maritime activities.

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of navigating between these heights.

Question 2

Analyze how inaccurate tidal corrections could impact a hydrographic survey's outcomes. What measures could be taken to ensure the accuracy of tidal data used?

💡 Hint: Think about how various technologies and methodologies can help improve accuracy.
