tidefreq.m

JLAB is a set of Matlab functions I have written or co-written over the past fifteen years for the p

function[f,name]=tidefreq(str)
%TIDEFREQ  Frequencies of the eight major tidal compenents.
%
%   [F,NAME]=TIDEFREQ returns the frequencies of the eight major tidal 
%   compenents together with a string matix containing their names.
%   These are   
%        Mf O1 P1 K1 N2 M2 S2 K2
%   In order of increasing frequency.  The units are cycles per hour.
%   See Gill (1982) page 335.
%  
%   F=TIDEFREQ(STR) returns the frequency for the component named STR, 
%   if STR is a string.  F=TIDEFREQ(N) where N is a number also works.
%  
%   Usage:   [f,name]=tidefreq;
%            f=tidefreq(str);
