Reduced level of Chart Datum
= 4.000 – (3.125 + 0.905)
= -0.030m below the zero staff pole

Therefore, to reduce the height of water level observed above zero staff to chart
datum, a correction of 0.030m is applied.

Table 1: Height of water level above zero staff and chart datum
Height of water level (metres)
No Time
Above Zero Staff Above chart datum
1 0855 1.200 1.230
2 0900 1.120 1.150
3 0905 0.980 1.010
4 0910 0.820 0.850
5 0915 0.680 0.710
6 0920 0.520 0.550

Charted depth = Sounding Depth – Water level above chart datum

By using the formula stated above, charted depth for each 5 minutes interval is
calculated and tabulated in table2.
