Tide
The tides reflected on this station are based on the ebb and neap tides of the lunar month rather than the daily high and low tides. 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.
Full Moon occurs when the earth, moon and sun are in approximate alignment, with the moon and the sun on opposite sides of the earth. The illuminated portion of the moon faces the earth, giving us complete visibility of one side of the entire moon. After a full moon, the illuminated portion will decrease or wane until the new moon occurs.
First Quarter and Last Quarter moons occur when the moon is at a 90 degree angle to the earth and sun.
So we see half of the moon illuminated and half is in shadow.
Waxing means growing or expanding illumination and happens after a new moon.
Waning means decreasing illumination and occurs after a full moon.
Crescent refers to the moon being less than half illuminated. Crescents can be waning or waxing.
Gibbous describes a moon phase when more than half is illuminated. Gibbous can be waxing or waning.

Pressure Readings
Absolute Barometric Pressure Number
Barometric pressure is read by the forecast station. The numeric pressure value adjusts automatically as the forecast station reads changes in air pressure. Since this number is absolute pressure, it may not be the same as a local reporting station that reads in relative pressure.
Note: The number cannot be calibrated.
Absolute Pressure is measured in a vacuum without the influences of terrain, weather, water, foliage and elevation. The air pressure it would be consistent at every elevation and decrease as it went higher.
Relative Pressure is a combination of air pressure and altitude. Relative air pressure will make readings in local areas relative to each other to allow for proper forecasting.
Model: 308-1451H www.lacrossetechnology.com/support

Pressure Unit of Measurement (InHg or hPa)
Hold the HISTORY button for 5 seconds to switch from InHg (inches or mercury) or
HISTORY
hPa (Hectopascal) for the numeric pressure display and the pressure graph.
Inches of Mercury is common for weather reports and aviation in the United States.
Hectopascal is equivalent to millibar and commonly used to measure atmospheric pressure outside the
United States.
Pressure History
Press and release the HISTORY button to view the past 12-hours of numeric pressure history.
In the small box to the right of the numeric pressure a number from 0 to -12 will appear.
0 is current pressure. -1 through -12 reflects the history in one-hour increments.
Note: The history graph and forecast icons will not change when you view pressure history.
Pressure History Graph
The bar chart indicates the air pressure history trend over the last 12 hours in 5 steps, 0h, -1h, -2h, -3h, -6h & -12h.
The columns represent the change in pressure readings (InHg or hPa) at specific times.
The “0” in the middle of this scale is equal to the current pressure and each bar represents how high or low the past pressure was compared to the current pressure.
Read the graph from left to right. If the bars are rising, it means that the weather will improve. If the bars go down, it means the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to degrade.
Note: The bar graph will scroll continually to prevent LCD burnout.

WWVB Radio-controlled Time
The NIST radio station, WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the forecast station
. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours.
The forecast station will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists continually measures every second of every day to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second a day. These physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium 133 atom in a vacuum.
This atomic clock regulates the WWVB sensor.
Model: 308-1451H www.lacrossetechnology.com/support

WWVB Reception Icon
Reception icon with full signal strength will appear on screen in front of the date when the reception of time is successful.
The tower icon will show solid when the forecast station has received the WWVB signal.
No tower icon is shown. The forecast station was unable to receive a signal at this time.
Reposition the forecast station for better signal reception or try again at bedtime.
The forecast station will start searching at UTC: 07:00 and if no reception on the first attempt they will try again at 08:00, 09:00, 10:00 and 11:00. Each attempt will be at least 2 minutes and the most will be 10 minutes.
If there is no signal or too much interference the receiver will only be on for 2 minutes.
If the signal is good it may catch a signal in ABOUT 2-3 minutes.
If the signal is marginal it will try to catch a signal for up to 10 minutes.
WWVB Manual Signal Search
Normal mode: Hold the + and - buttons together for 3 seconds to enter manual search.
Reception mode: Hold the + and - buttons together for 3 seconds to exit searching for the WWVB signal.
Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 6 feet
(2 meters).
Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the Fort
Collins, Colorado, sensor.
During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.
Note: In case the forecast station is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time and date can be manually set (see “program menu”).
