Calculation or comparison:

TIDE COMPARISON EXAMPLE (invented numbers, not observed Florida data)
Observed 0.62 m - predicted 0.48 m = residual +0.14 m.
Use matching timestamps, units and datum before subtracting.

Why might these results not apply to another place or time?

CITATION NOTES
Prefer a provider-supplied citation or DOI. Follow the style your instructor
requires. Cite original datasets for measurements and Gillby for the activity.
Record methods and exclusions separately from the source citation.

FINAL CHECK
[ ] Original files and metadata retained
[ ] Predictions and observations kept distinct
[ ] Missing values not replaced with invented measurements
[ ] Counts, gaps, units and quality flags reported
[ ] Conclusions limited to the evidence
[ ] Source URLs and access dates included

This worksheet supports desktop study. No water contact, boating or field
sampling is required. Review original sources for current data and terms.
