Earthtide_class: Earthtide class

EarthtideR Documentation

Earthtide class

Description

Class to generate synthetic earthtide signals.

Format

An R6Class generator object

Usage

et <- Earthtide$new(
  utc = as.POSIXct("2017-01-01", tz = "UTC") + 0:(24 * 7) * 3600,
  latitude = 52.3868,
  longitude = 9.7144,
  catalog = "ksm04",
  wave_groups = data.frame(start = 0.0, end = 6.0))

et$predict(method = "gravity", astro_update = 1)
et$analyze(method = "gravity", astro_update = 1)
et$lod_tide()
et$pole_tide()
et$tide()
et$print()

Arguments

Earthtide$new

  • et: An Earthtide object.

  • utc: The date-time in UTC (POSIXct vector).

  • latitude: The station latitude (WGS84) (degree) (numeric) defaults to 0.

  • longitude: The station longitude (WGS84) (degree) (numeric) defaults to 0.

  • elevation: The station ellipsoidal height (WGS84) (m) (numeric) defaults to 0.

  • azimuth: Earth azimuth (numeric) defaults to 0 (degrees)

  • gravity: Gravity at the station (m/s^2) (numeric) 0 to estimate gravity from elevation and latitude.

  • earth_radius: Radius of earth (m) (numeric) defaults to 6378136.3

  • earth_eccen: Eccentricity of earth (numeric) defaults to 6.69439795140e-3

  • cutoff: Cutoff amplitude for constituents (numeric) defaults to 1e-6

  • wave_groups: Two column data.frame having start and end of frequency groups (data.frame). This data.frame must have two columns with the names 'start', and 'end' signifying the start and end of the wave groupings. An optional third column 'multiplier' can be provided to scale the particular wave group. If column names do no match, the inferred column positions are start, end, multiplier.

  • catalog: Use the "hw95s" catalog or "ksm04" catalog (character).

  • eop: User defined Earth Orientation Parameter (EOP) data.frame with the following columns: datetime, ddt, ut1_utc, lod, x, y, dx, dy

  • ...: Currently not used.

Earthtide$predict, Earthtide$analyze

  • method: For predict and analyze. One of "gravity", "tidal_potential", "tidal_tilt", "vertical_displacement", "horizontal_displacement", "n_s_displacement", "e_w_displacement", "vertical_strain", "areal_strain", "volume_strain", "horizontal_strain" or "ocean_tides".

  • astro_update: For predict and analyze. Integer that determines how often to phases are updated in number of samples. Defaults to 1 (every sample), but speed gains are realized with larger values. Typically updating every hour will have speed gains and keep precision (ie 3600 for one second data, 60 for minute data, 1 for hourly data).

  • return_matrix: For predict and analyze. Return a matrix of tidal values instead of data.frame. The datetime column will not be present in this case (logical).

Details

$new(utc, latitude, longitude, elevation, azimuth, gravity,
earth_radius, earth_eccen, cutoff, wave_groups, catalog, ...)
create a new Earthtide object and initialize catalog, station and times.

$predict(method, astro_argument, return_matrix) generate a combined synthetic Earth tide.

$analyze(method, astro_argument, return_matrix, scale) generate components of the Earth tide for analysis.

$lod_tide() generate components of the LOD (Length Of Day) tide.

$pole_tide() generate components of the pole tide.

$tide() get the tide data.frame.

$print() print the Earthtide object.
