2007 Tidal Current Predictions NOTE: Special Tidal Current Predictions for the lower Hudson River
were added as an appendix to the published "Tidal Current Tables 2007 - Atlantic Coast of
North America". These stations are part of NOAA's effort to update the tidal currents
along the entire Hudson River, which are expected to be completed this year. The completed
updates will be included in the 2008 edition of the Tidal Current Tables. The stations
included in the Special Tidal Current Predictions may overlap with several sites listed
in the "Table 2" pages of the published Tidal Current Tables 2007, and should be taken
as more up to date than the existing "Table 2" station predictions. The "max/min current
predictions" provided on our website duplicate the predictions provided in the published
"Table 2" pages, and will not be available for the stations included in the Special Tidal
Current Predictions. This system will allow you to obtain tidal current predictions computed by CO-OPS for more than 2,700 tidal current locations along the U.S. coastline. The publication of full daily predictions is limited to a select number of "reference stations." The remaining stations are referred to as "subordinate stations." Tidal predictions for subordinate stations are be obtained by applying specific differences to the times and speeds of the predicted tidal currents for the specified reference stations. These pages provide a listing of the 2,700 plus reference stations and subordinate stations. Selecting the "predictions" link beside a station listing will provide tidal current predictions for the location with the differences already applied. Unlike tide stations, which are normally located along the shoreline, most tidal current stations are located offshore in channels, rivers, and bays. Tidal current stations are often named for the channel, river, or bay in which they are located or for a nearby navigational reference point. A map or some personal knowledge of the area may be necessary to help identify stations in the area you are interested in. The list of subordinate stations has been broken down into states and other areas where tidal current stations are located. Each state is further broken down into regions. Each region presents a list of the tidal current stations in the area. The stations are listed geographically; thus, stations that are near each other along the shoreline appear together in the listing. This assists the user in locating a station of interest. Bookmarks may be created to the daily predictions for specific stations using the URL listed when the predictions are displayed. However, that link will only provide access to the predictions for the year available when the bookmark was created. Each successive year of predictions will use a different URL address, and thus any bookmarks must be updated to access each new year of predictions. |
