TIDAL INFLUENCE No tidal currents are in evidence except perhaps close inshore. However, data from an anchor station occupied by the USS SAN PABLO between HLspaniola and Jamaica give the interesting result shown in figure lU, where current speed at the surface is plotted against time. The curve closely resembles that of a tidal cycle although there is little change in direction. It is believed that any tidal influence is usually masked by the larger circulatory picture. 11.
