Charted Depth: The depth on a chart is measured from a level
known as Chart Datum (CD). On a modern chart, Chart Datum
is normally placed at the level of the Lowest Astronomical
Tide (LAT) which is the lowest level which can be predicted to
occur under average meteorological conditions and under any
combination of astronomical conditions.
LW and HW Heights: LW and HW heights are always
measured from Chart Datum.
Rise of Tide (∆H): Rise of Tide is the vertical distance
measured from LW to the actual water level.
Height of Tide (H.O.T): Height of Tide is the vertical distance
measured from Chart Datum to the actual water level.

Find the actual sea level, if the
C.D is 14,3 m. at 06:20 (GMT)
on 1st February 2000.
1. Duration: HWT – LWT
10:44 – 03:19 = 7h:25m (Falling)
2. Range: H of HW – H of LW
6,1 – 1,7 = 4,4 m.
3. Δt: HWT – DT or DT – HWT

There are two different ways to find the ΔH.
10. DOKUZ EYLUL UNIVERSITY

E.Gürel
First way is to find ΔH = Range x Factor
Actual range = 4,4
Δt = 3h:01m After HW
Sp 6,0 0,63
Np 3,2 0,59
2,8 0,04
1,2 F
F = 0,02
Factor = 0,59 + 0,02
= 0,61
Δh= 4,4 x 0,61 = 2,7 m.
DOW = 14,3 + 2,7 + 1,7 = 18,7 m.

Second way is to find ΔH with Curves
Δt = 3h:01m After HW
HW = 6,1 m.
LW = 1,7 m.
HOT = 4,4 m.
DOW = 14,3 + 4,4 = 18,7 m.
