Science / Tides and Currents / Greenwich Interval: An interval referred to the transit of the Moon over the meridian of Greenwich, as distinguished from the local interval which is referred to the Moon's transit over the local meridian. The relation in hours between Greenwich and local intervals may be expressed by the formula: Greenwich interval = local interval + 0.069L where L is the west longitude of the local meridian in degrees. For east longitude, L is to be considered negative.
