• Tide height is indicated by a gauge. The gauge is comprised
of 8 levels, which are set according to the absolute minimum /
maximum values of that particular day.
• The color of the arrow on the tide gauges indicates changes in
the tide height:
– Red: increasing tide height.
– Blue: decreasing tide height.
The animation can be viewed continuously or incrementally for
a time period that you specify. You can also set the date for the
animation, and start or restart the animation at any point within a
24-hour period. If the system does not have a valid date and time
the date used will be midday for the system default date.
