Please read & understand the methodology
of how the tidal current information is derived. |
|
The tidal current information for
the selected area is a simulated current only. |
 |
The model bathymetry is generated
based on the seabed information in navigational charts and sounding data. |
 |
The model is calibrated and validated
based on the measured current during a joint survey carried out in 1978
by four countries. The model was further customized and developed for
the selected area. The customized model was further validated
using a recent Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler ("ADCP") transect. Any
inaccuracy in the measured current may affect the accuracy of the simulated
current. |
 |
The non-tidal current caused by surface
wind, temperature and atmospheric pressure included in the simulation
is a yearly average value. The actual non-tidal current may vary according
to these conditions. |
 |
The current conditions in the selected area
are inherently complex and other factors may affect
the accuracy of the simulation. |
