rtide is an R package to calculate tide heights based on
tide station harmonics.
It includes the harmonics data for 637 US stations.

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

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.
