    Pilot charts are small scale charts covering ocean basins that are used for voyage planning rather than precise positioning. They graphically depict recommended routes, ice limits, prevailing winds, ocean currents, and average wave heights. Published quarterly, there are 5 world atlases with 12 charts each for the months of the year. Tide tables provide data on high and low tides published annually in 4 volumes by location with daily predictions to calculate tide heights. Tidal current tables provide data on tidal currents in 2 volumes with daily predictions to calculate current speeds.
