Flow Chart for solving the problem:
1. Draw blank proforma as shown in
previous page.(3 minutes)

2. Find out Port number for last

pages of respective ATT volume.

3. Go to Table VII

4. Find out values of A and F for date

in question.

5. Go to Part III

6. Find out values of Zo,Seasonal

correction,g, H,f4,F4,f6,F6 . For some
ports Zo is available from table VI

7. Input all data in the blank

proforma. ( STEP 2-7 - 5 minutes)

8. Calculate the tide using the above

data (15 minutes)

2. Find out from standard Port (part I)

nearest date for full moon/new moon.

3. Go to Table VI

4. Find out values of X (Spring tide

after how many days of full moon or
new moon.(table VI)

5. Find out date of spring tide using

value of X

6. Find out Difference between spring

Tide date and date in question

7. Using above diff(Number of days

before or after spring tide) , find value
of Zo (ML) under respective column
