tidedata: Tidal constituent information
Description
The tidedata
dataset contains Tide-constituent information
that is use by tidem
to fit tidal models.
tidedata
is a list containing
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Apart from the use of d1
through d6
, the naming and
content follows T_TIDE
. All of this is based on Foreman
(1977), to which the reader is referred for details.source
The data come from the tide3.dat
file of the
T_TIDE
package (Pawlowicz et al., 2002), and derive from
Appendices provided by Foreman (1977). The data are scanned using
tests/tide.R in this package, which also performs some tests using
T_TIDE
values as a reference.concept
