TIDE VECTOR/COURSE PLOT SECTION
TIDE EFFECT
Display
The tide effect display is useful for estimating three-dimensional deformation of cast net by the
effect of tides at different depths. Notice that display merely shows movements of layers; it does
not show true net shape in the water.
Assume that you put drifting marks (virtual
buoys) on the net at each layer below the ves-
sel at an interval of six seconds.
As the marks move with the tides keeping the
same speeds and directions, a series of marks
makes a brief section shape of the net at the
layer.
In practice, a net does not sink immediately,
because of various tensions and stresses placed
on it. Thus, use the tide effect information only
as a reference.
