The Admiralty Tidal Stream Atlas: The Solent and Adjacent Waters (NP337), 4th Edition 1993, is an essential navigational tool for mariners venturing into the waters of the Solent. This comprehensive tidal stream atlas provides detailed charts that illustrate tidal streams at hourly intervals, helping sailors make informed decisions about their voyages. With information covering the area between Cowes and Stansore Point, as well as the adjacent waters, this atlas is indispensable for accurate marine navigation.

This atlas is designed to complement the Admiralty Tide Tables, which include critical details such as the times of High Water (HW) at Portsmouth and other pertinent tidal information. By using this tidal stream atlas, navigators can effectively plan their routes, taking into account the fluctuations in tidal currents for optimal safety and timing.

Tidal Stream Atlases are vital for any voyager in North West Europe, as they include crucial data on tidal stream direction and strength, allowing for precise calculations of tidal stream rates for various ports. This information enhances the efficiency of maritime operations and helps in avoiding unforeseen challenges related to tidal variations.

Each volume of the Admiralty Tidal Stream Atlas comprises:

• Pictorial representations of tidal stream directions for each hour before and after the reference port.
• Accurate information on the direction and rate of tidal streams.
• Mean Neap and Spring tidal rates presented in tenths of a knot.
