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)
