420 BENNETTface had an onshore component while the current near the bottom had anoffshore component; at the inshore stations the vertical distributionsshowed no consistent pattern, indicating that a more elaborate mo<strong>del</strong> isrequired to explain the distributions.t. The tide is essentially a standing wave, and can be treated as such.g. The main flood-ebb direction of tidal currents was 330° - 150 0 T.h. At any location the depth-mean tidal current in the flood-ebb directioncan be represented as a simple function of average water depth, distanceoffshore, and tidal range and duration.t. The observed tidal current figures were generally elliptical, with themajor axis along the flood-ebb direction.j. The component of tidal current normal to the flood-ebb direction andthe direction of rotation of the current vector in the tidal ellipse were attributedto Coriolis force and/or bottom friction.k. The phase of the tidal current was apparently everywhere small, relativeto the stand of the tide at Balboa, but could not be estimated from thedata.l. The tidal and net current components combined to produce differenttotal currents, depending on location; usually the ebb currents were thestronger because the net current had a component along 150 0 T.m. The maximum total current, which would occur during tides of maximumspring range, would be about 1.5 knots (0.8 m/sec) in the area betweenChame Point and Taboga Island.
