create_data/tidalCurrent/README.md

Running make here creates tideCurrent.rda here, and running make install copies it to ../data. The work is done with create_tideCurrent.R, and the data files tide8.dat and tide9.dat are from a zipfile [2] downloaded on 2020 aug 5. It should be noted that [2] also contains the full text of [1].

The data format is format is described on page 5 (PDF page 12) of [1], and create_tidalCurrent.R uses this as the first step in reading the data, after which it does some housekeeping tasks to put the data into a usable format as described in the documentation provided by ?tidalCurrent.
