On a nautical chart, the drying height is the vertical distance of the seabed that is exposed by the tide, above the level of the sea at the lowest astronomical tide.
On admiralty charts a drying height is distinguished from a depth by being underlined.

“I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
—Bible: New Testament, Ephesians 3:16-19.
