5 S peed of lay er A based on ground (C1) can be calculated as follows: C1 = Vg – Vwa = 10 – 7 = 3 ( kt) Nav-Tide (Absolute tide) Absolute tide can be measured in the nav-aided mode. Nav-aided ship’s speed (Vn) is equivalent to ship’s ground tracking speed in the ideal conditions. That is, the nav-tide can be calculated by simply replacing [...]

6 Assuming that the ship, layer A and layer B are moving in the same direction, and ship’s speeds based on layer A (Vwa) and on layer B (Vwb) are measured as ; Vwa = 8 kt (Ship’s speed based on lay er A) Vwb = 5 kt (Ship’s speed based on lay er B) T ide differential calculations in ground tracking mode As an absolute ship’s speed (Vg) is av[...]

8 [RE A D THIS FIRST! !] IMPORT A NT NOTICE ON TIDE MEA SUREMENTS (In the nav-aided mode, tide accuracy depends heavily on gyro accuracy .) SETTING SHIP’S HEA DING The CI-80 has the nav-aided mode to measure absolute tides even in deep waters where ground track ing is unattainable. T o achieve reliable measurements, how ever , you must supply acc[...]
