Description:
Abstract:
A coverage showing low tide losses and gains in Humboldt Bay between 1944 and 1993.
Purpose:
To show the historic changes in low tide in Humboldt Bay, northern California.
Supplemental_Information:
This coverage is based on previously digitized versions of 1993 (lotide93.e00) and 1944 (lotide44.e00) low tide coverages; therefore, this coverage inherits the same qualities as the originals. Also, due to the imperfections of the digitizing process, some of the tidal changes shown may not be real.

Process_Description:
Digital versions of the 1993 low tide and 1944 low tide already existed. These maps were combined, and areas containing only low tide in 1993 were selected out and called low tide gains. Areas with low tide only in 1944 were selected out and called low tide losses. The gains and losses were then combined into one map.
