1957

This tabulation is extracted from "Tide Tables, Central and Western

Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean, 1957", and published by the U.S. Department
of Commerce, Coast and Geodetic Survey.

Datum, elevation 0,0, is defined in the above publication as follows:

"Heights are reckoned from the datum of soundings on the largest scale charts
of the locality which is 4 foot below mean low water springs" for Kwajalein
Atoll, Marshall Islands,

The reference station is Kwajalein Atoll, time meridian 180 degrees

east. The following tabulation appears in Table 2, - Tidal Differences
and ranges:

Range is the difference between successive tides, i.e., between a high
and a low or a low and a high. Mean range is the average range of all tides
in the year. Spring range is the average of the largest ranges in the year,

Springs occur once each lunar month (approximately 28 days) when the highest

highs and the lowest lows are recorded,

The values’ in this tabulation are based on average weather conditions,

Unusual weather, particularly high winds from a direction other than seasonally
normal, affect both the times and the heights.
Each site in the Atoll has a slightly different time and hcight of highs
and lows. This can be disregarded for 211 prectical purposes in the lagoon.
The water level on the ocean reef is always higher than that of the lagoon,
the difference varying from a few tenths to 1,5'.
