After a short calculation time, the forecast station shows the times for sunrise and sunset,
moon phase and lunar tide.
Note:
When DST is in affect the forecast station will need to receive the WWVB time signal to make the
adjustment for DST. The WWVB signal includes an embedded bit to tell the station to adjust for DST. Until that
signal is received the first time, the sunrise/sunset times will be one hour off.
Tide
The tides reflected on this station are based on the ebb and neap tides of the lunar month. Not daily high and
low tides. When the forecast station states high tide, the tides will be higher than usual, etc.
When the sun, moon and earth are lined up at new and full phases of the moon, tides will be higher.
When the moon is at right angles to the sun and Earth at the first and last quarter, the tides are weaker.
Full & new moon
= spring tide (TIDE
HI
)
Quarter
= neap tide (TIDE
LO
)
Other
= mean water level (TIDE
MID
)
Moon Phase
The LCD Moon phase is divided by 6 sections, showing a total of 12 phases of the moon.
Note:
With the moon shown against a light colored background, the phases will show opposite to a paper
calendar. The segments that are highlighted portray the part of the moon that is lit. For instance, the moon will
be blank during a new moon and dark during a full moon.
New Moon
occurs when the moon is between the earth and sun so the illuminated portion of the moon is on
the back side facing the sun and we cannot see it. After a new moon, the illuminated (visible) portion will
increase or wax until the full moon occurs.
