Sounding Depth Simulator

Calculate actual depth by applying tide corrections to measured soundings.

Measured Depth (m)12.5
Tide Level (above datum) (m)1.2

Results

Reduced Depth=Measured−Tide\text{Reduced Depth} = \text{Measured} - \text{Tide}
Dtrue=12.5−(1.2)=11.3 mD_{true} = 12.5 - (1.2) = 11.3 \text{ m}
