(You may read the times as GMTor LST, but be consistent.)8) What is the expected water level (read water elevation from Datum MSL) of today’s high andlow tide? I prefer metric reading(meters) rather than imperial (feet).9) How does the predicted curve (blue) compare to the observed/preliminary (red) waterlevels? (To answer this question, you can either look at today’s observed data or yesterday’sobserved data.)10) What is today’s predicted tidal range (tidal range = the difference between the elevation ofwater at high tide and the elevation of water at low tide)?11) From the data present from today does San Francisco Bay have a Diurnal, Semidiurnal orMixed Semidiurnal tidal pattern?12) From your reading, list two or three factors that might affect the predicted versus observedtidal elevations on a given day?Look at the predictions for tomorrow:13) Are tomorrow’s high tide and low tide predicted for the same times as today high and lowtides? (look carefully/closely.14) If not, why not? (you might find the answer in your reading).Part 3: Hurricane Harvey Storm Surge in the Gulf of MexicoLook at the potential and actual tidal surges for Hurricane Harvey in the Gulf of Mexico.https://www.u-surge.net/hurricane-harvey.html15) Was the real storm surge higher or lower than the estimates of potential storm surge?
