Tide Clock Gadget

 

Only $4.99

This tidal clock desktop gadget for the Windows Sidebar tracks semi-diurnal tides - two high tides and two low tides per day - based on lunar cycles. In order to be as accurate as possible, the clock was designed so that one revolution of the tidal clock is equal to a lunar day of 12 hours, 25 minutes, and 24 seconds. The hour markers are precise in their placement in order to correctly count down the hours to the next predicted high or low tide.

The Tide Clock gadget also allows for custom text of your choosing to be displayed on the clock face, a toggle for the simulated glass glare, and persistent settings so that once the clock is set, each future instance of the gadget that is opened will be automatically set as it was before.

It should be noted that, because of the elliptical orbit of the moon, this tide clock, as with all lunar tidal clocks, will be most accurate near the half and full moon when the moon is the dominating influence on tides, and will be least accurate, sometimes by up to 1 1/2 hours, near the first and last quarter moons.
