High tide levels in CSM were similar to those of predicted tides (Figs. 2, 3). Mean CSM high tides were ± m above MLLW (N = 88) in the summer period and ± m (N = 88) in the winter period. Mean predicted high tides for the same periods were ± m above MLLW and ± m. High tide levels in CSM were positively correlated with predicted high tide levels in both periods (Fig. 4). The relat

High tide levels in CSM were similar to those of predicted tides (Figs. 2, 3). Mean CSM high tides were ± m above MLLW (N = 88) in the summer period and ± m (N = 88) in the winter period. Mean predicted high tides for the same periods were ± m above MLLW and ± m. High tide levels in CSM were positively correlated with predicted high tide levels in both periods (Fig. 4). The relationships between CSM tide heights and predicted tide heights for the two periods were not significantly different in slope (P > ), or elevation (P > ). Relationships between low tide levels in CSM and predicted levels varied be- tween the periods analyzed. No significant correlation was found between low tide levels in CSM and predicted low tide levels during the winter period (Fig. 4). A significant negative relationship was found between low tide levels in CSM and predicted low tide levels for the summer period (Fig. 4, CSM height m MLLW = (predicted height m above MLLW) +, r = , N = 88, Fig. 4). Low tides that followed spring high tides were generally the highest in the series. The pattern of high and low tides in CSM differed from that of predicted tides (Fig. 2). The occurrence of Lower Low Water in CSM frequently corresponded with predicted HLW instead of predicted LLW. For days on which HLW and LLW were distinguishable in the predicted tide series and CSM records, LLW in CSM coincided with predicted LLW on 11 of 32, and 15 of 37 days in the summer and winter periods respectively. In Carpinteria Salt Marsh, the lowest tide of the day generally occurred after LHW instead of after HHW (Fig. 2). During portions of the tidal series in which HHW and LLW were distinguishable, predicted LLW followed predicted HHW. Please note that these images are
