The GMT differential is the time difference of the time zone where the site is
located from Greenwich Mean Time.
•
The lunitidal interval is the time elapsing between the Moon’s transit over
the meridian and the next high tide. See “Lunitidal Interval” for more
information.
•
This watch displays lunitidal intervals in terms of hours and minutes.

The “Site Data List” and “Lunitidal Interval List” provide GMT differential,
longitude, latitude, and lunitidal interval information around the world.
