Predict lunar nodal cycle

Description

This function builds a high tide level based on the 18.61 year lunar nodal cycle.

Usage

predictLunarNodalCycle(
  year,
  floodElv,
  meanSeaLevelDatum,
  meanSeaLevel,
  lunarNodalAmp,
  lunarNodalPhase = 2011.181
)

Arguments

year	a numeric, the current year
floodElv	a numeric, high tide level over the last complete 18 year datum period
meanSeaLevelDatum	a numeric, mean sea-level over the last complete 18 year datum period
meanSeaLevel	a vector, mean sea-level for each year of the scenario we are predicting
lunarNodalAmp	a numeric, the amplitude of the 18 year lunar nodal cycle
lunarNodalPhase	a numeric, in decimal years (YYYY) the start year of the sine wave representing the lunar nodal cycle
