Introduction

rtide is an R package to calculate tide heights based on tide station harmonics.

It includes the harmonics data for 637 US stations.

Installation

To install the latest release from CRAN

install.packages("rtide")

To install the developmental version from GitHub

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("millerlp/rtide")

Utilisation

library(tibble)
library(rtide)
#> rtide is not suitable for navigation

data <- rtide::tide_height(
  "Monterey Harbor",
  from = as.Date("2016-07-13"), to = as.Date("2016-07-15"),
  minutes = 10L, tz = "America/Los_Angeles"
)

print(data)

Shiny

Tide heights can be also obtained using rtide through a shiny interface developed by Seb Dalgarno.

Inspiration

The harmonics data was converted from https://github.com/poissonconsulting/rtide/blob/main/data-raw/harmonics-dwf-20151227-free.tar.bz2, NOAA web site data processed by David Flater for XTide. The code to calculate tide heights from the harmonics is based on XTide.
