Consults the NOAA metadata API for your selected station, and queries it for information on the station's (standard time) timezone offset from UTC.

Usage

get_tz(.station, .type = c("offset", "string"))

Arguments

.station	Code for NOAA tide station.
.type	Either 'offset' for an integer value offset from UTC, or

Value

Either an integer for .type = 'offset') or a string (‘.type = ’string')of specifying a time zone offset, of the form 'Etc/GMT+X', where X is an integer.
