Do some astronomical calculations for tidem(). This function is based directly
on t_astron in the T_TIDE Matlab package (see Pawlowicz et al. 2002),
which inherits from the Fortran code described by Foreman (1978).
Usage
tidemAstron(t)
Value
A list containing items named
astro and ader (see the T_TIDE documentation).
Arguments
t
Either a time in POSIXct format (with "UTC" timezone,
or else odd behaviours may result),
or an integer. In the second case, it is converted to a time with
numberAsPOSIXct(), using tz="UTC".
Author
Dan Kelley translated this from the t_astron function
of the T_TIDE Matlab package (see Pawlowicz et al. 2002).
