Spot 1: (Near Spiritual Center)
11:30pm April 16th 2010: Put a rock at the level of the water/tide (from tide chart expected to be 2.3m) in order to measure by how much the tide rose when it became its predicted highest, thus confirming or disproving the tide charts.
2:00am April 17th: Tide change: 33cm higher than what it was at 11:30 (2.3m) and the expected tide is 2.6m, which is the high tide. Therefor the the data on the chart seems very accurate.
Temperature: 10.9~11 Celsius degrees.
Spot 2: (Near Maintenance Docks)
11:59pm April 16th 2010: Put a rock at the level of the water/tide (from tide chart expected to be 2.4m) in order to measure by how much the tide rose when it became its predicted highest, thus confirming or disproving the tide charts.
2.30am 17th April 2010:Tide change: 34cm higher than what it was at 11:59 (2,4m), and the expected tide was 2.6m, which is the high tide. Therefore the the data on the chart seems slightly inaccurate.
Temperature: 11.2~11.4 Celsius degrees!!
Evaluation
Temperature is rather constant only fluctuating by about 0.3 of degree with the farther into the Pedder Bay spot being warmer, possibly due to the shallowness which allows the sun to warm up more water and the rock beneath.
As for tide change, the chart is mostely accurate and the margin of error could be due to us. The nature of our location, tools and the fact it was dark all help distort the data.
