What will be the velocity of the tidal current at 0.2 mile SSW of Clason Point, NY, at 1125 on 17 April 1983?

Correct Answer: Option C — 1.1 knots

Tidal current calculations necessitate applying standard NOS table procedures, including correcting for time zone differences and interpolating between consecutive slack and maximum current periods using standard cosine curve table methods detailed in Bowditch.
